[Ruby] Creating a small calendar system..

[Colin Meyer]

When you are storing serialized ical data in your db, how do you
search them? I think that ical makes a great format for exchanging
events between different calendar systems, but, depending on your
indexing/searching desires, you might want to store events in
another format.

You could store events as serialized in ical, but index them with solr
or some other external index. To index with solr, you'd have to
re-serialize them to xml.

What are ruby folks using these days for external (outside an
rdbms) indexing?

-Colin.
