Okay..."Would The ODbL and BY-SA Clash In A Database Extracted From a
BY-SA Produced Work?"

Doesn't this include a BY-SA Produced Work which is a mash-up of BY-SA
and ODbL data?

The interesting part of the question is whether or not it's allowed to
create a BY-SA Produced Work which is a mash-up of BY-SA and ODbL
data, and if so, whether that makes the ODbL data BY-SA.

Ah, if you meant "Covered Database" you shouldn't have said "database"
:).  Produced Work and Covered Database are mutually exclusive.
Produced Work and database are not.
