I'm trying to gather data on database management systems that can support engineering/r&d activities. The database management system must be able to handle multiple hetrogeneous platforms that are geographically dispersed. More specifically, I am interested in experiences/references in supporting automotive engineering/r&d activities using any of the following DBMSs: Britton Lee Ingres Oracle Sybase Teradata Unify Ra'ad Siraj

INGRES/STAR and INGRES/NET are normally used to link databases in remote locations and on heterogeneous platforms in this kind of environment. STAR gives you the benefit of location and DBMS transparency - a distributed database may be physically in many different locations, using different hardware (and potentially different DBMSs) but it looks like a single, integrated, database to your applications.
