Why wouldn't you just build a consolidated index from the data in your
multiple fields, then load it into postgres or any other database
engine?
Dustin made a good point: things you are contemplating to do are not
exactly the job of a database backend. Its all yours: the database you
are building is just as good as the index you design and implement in
the form of a relation or a set of relations, which postgres will take
care of.
