About the ANTs Compatibility Server (ACS)
The ANTs Compatibility Server is a middleware solution that allows application code –queries, stored procedures, and functions – from legacy databases to run natively and transparently against the new target database with minimal to no application rewriting and recompiling. The application operates as if it were still communicating with the original database, while the new database operates as if it were communicating with a native application.
