Database crawling

I was wondering if the search appliance or webinator has the capability to crawl a BASIS database with over 5 million records? Thanks.

The Search Appliance's DB Walker functionality does not currently support BASIS databases. After a cursory glance it looks like something we could potentially add in the future.

Webinator does not directly support crawling database contents. However if you created a small web application that served up the database contents as HTML, both Webinator and the Search Appliance would be able to crawl it.

Another option would be to use Texis, which could use the Basis ODBC driver to extract data.
