Lucene is not a database. It's an index. All field types other than unindexed are stored in a very efficient way, using minimal hashes to reflect each individual word type. When a search is made, the query is also transformed such that it will match those unique hashes of the data. Anything that you're not indexing should be something you're going to use to recover information from a database. Because we are going to normalize our data, this will be basically anything we'll be recovering about the document to display in a search result. Relying on the database to populate these fields will decrease your index size (and thus increase your search speed) by an order of magnitude.

When scripting in PHP, we often restrict ourselves to a limited number of API functions: the common ones, like print(), header(), define(), isset(), htmlspecialchars(), etc. If some needed functionality doesn’t exist, we often write it making use of these basic components which we have in mind. The PHP API actually offers a lot of functionality, some useless and some useful; often seldom used. I have been looking through the available functions and was interested to find some really cool functions that I should have known about. Here, I share my findings.

As exceptions are new in PHP 5, they are primarily for userland code (PHP code you write). As new versions of PHP get released, more and more internal code should be switched over to use exceptions so that you have a chance to handle errors smoothly, but this is a gradual process.
