It is standalone - separate process, data is stored in separate files (not
in db).
In SQL Server 7.0, you also have to manually update the index. Just updating
the values in the table does *NOT* update the index. (Can be scheduled, of
course, but not live)
In SQL Server 2000 the index can be auto-updated when rows change, but it's
not default.
