Hmmm, when you say you use Tika, are you using some custom Java code? Because if you are, the best thing to do is query your database at that point and add whatever information you need to the document.
If you're using DIH to do the crawl, consider implementing a Transformer to do the database querying and modify the document as necessary.... This is pretty simple to do, we can chat a bit more depending on whether either approach makes sense.
