Would you therefore say that before I can use proprietary software to 
process an ODbL data set, I would have to request from the software 
provider a legal statement about whether or not it does create a 
database internally?

If I use software that builds an in-memory data structure which you 
believe to be a database in order to make a produced work, how would you 
suggest that I fulfil my obligation to make such derived database 
available on request?
