Hi Fabio, Sandeep is right - it'll take time. SOLR isn't straightforward when you first start out but the tutorial is the best first step. You can then adapt the various config files in the tutorial to adapt to your situation. I'd recommend a simple approach to get the hang of it and just index one table, specifying some fields to be searched in the schema.xml.
There are some good books around too (Sandeeps's recommendation on Lucidworks is good too). Apache Solr 3.1 Cookbook by Rafal Kuc (still valid for 4.x.x), Jack Krupansky's Solr 4.x Deep Dive - Early Access Release, Solr In Action by Trey Grainger & Tim Potter. If you need help, shout! It's a great community.
