He asked a previous question about using mysql as the db for Xapian.  I 
didn't respond because I didn't know all the answers.

You cannot use mysql as the db for Xapian.  The db that Xapian uses is 
significantly faster than mysql because it is optimize for the search 
algorithms used by Xapian.

Jim.
