Re: [ts] index collection of xml files directly without saving collection to dB

[Pat Allan]

Hi Sam

Thinking Sphinx is built only to work with ActiveRecord models built on top of SQL databases, I'm afraid, so you can't pull in XML sources.

You could investigate using Riddle directly with XML sources and see if that'll lead to a solution that suits - it's a bit beyond the scope of code snippets though.

Cheers

Thanks Pat. 

So I'm assuming that besides Riddle, I might have to load all my xml files into an SQL dB, update weekly and use the dB with thinking-sphinx.

Sure, that option would work well enough too.
