It might be worthwhile to update ckan.net to this, actually - unless there is any opposition to doing in-process solr updates for now. As for supporting this in postgres, I think we dropped the idea during the team meeting last monday.

Worth taking a quick step back and considering that SOLR is for text

query capability that an RDBMS would. It wouldnt be unusual to have both 
systems in place, with the SOLR search capability having some idea of a 
database record id or some such as linkage.[1,2,3 etc]
