Martin,

It will be huge, but I don't see a problem with it, you will need to
look at indices statistics after the table is populated to see if you
have a lot of duplicates, if so, you could add the primary key to the
end of the table to help garbage collection process to run.

In the side of performance to query it I don't think it will be a
problem, but I'd like to know the results you get and how big is your
tables.

I have posted a message some days ago about a pet project I have started
using full text search (in just one table) and I think could be done to
index the entire database, but I am short in free time to try it harder.

I'd like to know your progress and how well it works and the gotchas you
find.

see you !
