Leading solutions for incompatible (legacy) databases?

I'm a little out of my depth here, so I hope folks will bear with me...   

Can someone tell me what are the leading solutions for an organization that has a bunch of legacy databases (some or most of them relational dbs) that are incompatible? Are there any solutions that are generally regarded as at least "fairly satisfactory", if not "fairly good"?   

Anyone responding, I'd greatly appreciate it if you could send a copy of your response to me at practicalinfo_at_earthlink.net. Thanks. Received on Wed Oct 08 2003 - 19:12:56 CDT
