Abstract

See full text

Systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media for a unified interface for querying data that may reside in one of a legacy database or a current database. Rather than performing a risky or potentially time-consuming database migration, new data is stored in the current database and the existing data remains in the legacy database. Users submit database queries through a query interface that hides or abstracts the complexity of the current and legacy databases from the users. Thus, while two separate databases exist on the back end, users do not know and do not need to know of that complexity when submitting a database query. The query interface can determine which database contains the requested data, convert the database query to the appropriate format, if necessary, for that database, and execute the converted query.
