You might want to keep in mind that you will want to connect to databases in
addition to the one that holds your actual model data.
You will want library databases for selecting which parts to place.
You will want reporting databases to post information to.
And you may event want some sort of meta database in which you store object
definitions and their relations with each other.

Subject: [cad-linux] database application scenarios
I've just drawn out a quick diagram of the way I see the database being
applied between the project owner and other members of the design team.

This is a loose concept, and could use some text to accompany it, but this
will have to come later.
Basically, the database portion (core of the system) should be able to act
as
a client or server to other installations of itself on the network. There
would need to be some sort of shell/interface for management of permissions
and administration of the database. The client applications (with built-in
support for communication with the database server or with help from the
modeling kernel) would work off of whichever database in the chain is most
appropriate. The database server could be only talking to a client program
on the same workstation, or it could be talking to a client over the
network,
or another database server, which is connecting as a client to obtain a
slice
of the database for viewing, referencing, or editing.
