I am not sure of your classifying the named RDBMS's as bottlenecks. I
am now currently working with BTRIEVE and find it very limiting in 
it's abilities. INGRES especially if used correctly and if you
do optimize all your queries using QEP and using all the file
structures at your disposal you might change your mind.
