Interwoven MB's Digital Asset repository is a Database(MS-SQL/Oracle) From what I understand,SharePoint 2007 family (MOSS/MSS)supports the following content sources: Web sites, SharePoint Sites (WSS/SharePoint Server), Exchange Public Folders(through OWA), File Shares, Lotus Notes databases on Domino Server. Through BDC and user profiles/My sites, Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 has two more content sources: Databases and people profiles.

If there's any other way of Dealing with custom content source such as a Mediabin DB then it can be indexed by SharePoint Search .

And, you can use "Protocol Handlers"/"connectors" to index content in any other proprietary respository. A protocol handler can be implemented in C++, and also C# if you don't care about the performance. So, you can give the database ability to Search Server 2008, you can connect some other repositories like Mediabin,FileNet and Documentum.
