As Mike correctly alluded to, combining of DB's is in our technology roadmap (Motorola term).
If indeed students are the primary complainers about lack of cross-team development in the db arena then I forgive you. You have little/no clue as to the effort required by such a task. Please be more considerate about what you say...even in an open discussion board.

: I hate to say this, but I see a lot of people complaining about the lack of a central database, and I only saw one discussion about creating one. If everyone wants a central database, get together and create one.
: Speaking from the experience of teaming up with SOAP, it takes a lot of work to join two databases. I know that SOAP was talking with GMCIA about sharing data this year, but they had already developed their own systems and couldn't reconcile them. It's too late to do it this year, but next year is a different story. I want to get a list of people who want to join forces next year to create a way to either share data between databases or join to one big DB. So either email me, or stop by the WASH w/ SOAP station at WMI, Midwest, or Nationals so we can talk. Then I'll get together with Kenny (SOAP) and Nate (GMCIA) and come up with a plan.
