Of course!  As long as you don't need relations and other good stuff that RDBMS + SQL give you.

Subject: [Tagdb] text search engine as a database

Given that text search engines have the ability to do fielded searches, 
and given that a lot of web crawlers put data into mysql or relational 
dbs for fielded searches,
couldn't a lot of crawled web content bypass the relational db and just 
use the text search engine as a high performance mostly-read fielded 
database.
Especially people who do business intelligence based on crawled web data.
