I'm quite new to solr and trying to understand how to create a schema from how our postgres database and then search for the content in solr instead of querying the db. My question should be really easy, it has most likely been asked many times but still I'm not able to google any answer to it. To make it easy, I have 3 columns: users, courses and languages Users has columns , userid, firstname, lastname Courses has column coursename, startdate, enddate Languages has column language, writingskill, verbalskill UserA has taken courseA, courseB and courseC and has writingskill good verbalskill good for english and writingskill excellent verbalskill excellent for spanish UserB has taken courseA, courseF, courseG and courseH and has writingskill fluent verbalskill fluent for english and writingskill good verbalskill good for italian I would like to put this data into solr so I can search for all "users how have taken courseA and are fluent in english". Can I do that? The problem is I'm not sure how to flatten this database into a schema It's easy to understand the users column, for example <field name="userid" type="string" indexed="true" /> <field name="firstname" type="string" indexed="true" /> <field name="lastname" type="string" indexed="true" /> But then I'm not so sure how the schema should look like for courses and languages <field name="userid" type="string" indexed="true" /> <field name="coursename" type="string" indexed="true" /> <field name="startdate" type="string" indexed="true" /> <field name="enddate" type="string" indexed="true" /> Thanks for any help /Niklas
