Sample Database for Full Text Searching

Question

I am looking to do some benchmarking on Full Text Search indexes in PostgreSQL, SQLServer and Lucene.

Any ideas on where to find a good big sample database to perform queries against?

Thanks a lot in advance.

I think the great source would be wikipedia's database dump, since they contains really great amount of text. They are available here: http://dumps.wikimedia.org/

You could also try usenet archive, but there's harder to pick target language and the quality of language used is also lower.

Good point. It could also be STACKOVERFLOW's questions dump... :-) – Pablo Santa Cruz Feb 24 '11 at 10:54
