ANTs Completes Formation of Compatibility Server Consortium.Enthusiastic Response from Major Global Companies Seeking Migration Solution BURLINGAME, Calif. -- Noting the enthusiastic response from a group of influential U.S. and European companies It may never be fully completed or, depending on its its nature, it may be that it can never be completed. However, new and revised entries in the list are always welcome. This is a list of companies from the countries in the European Union. it approached, ANTs software inc. (OTCBB OTCBB See OTC Bulletin Board (OTCBB). :ANTS), a leader in compatible, high-performance SQL SQL in full Structured Query Language. Computer programming language used for retrieving records or parts of records in databases and performing various calculations before displaying the results. data management systems, today announced it has successfully completed its membership drive for the newly created ANTs Compatibility Server Consortium. The ten Fortune 500 or equivalent companies selected as charter members of the consortium will work with ANTs under the leadership of Ari Kaplan, Independent Oracle User Group (IOUG IOUG International Oracle Users Group IOUG Illinois OCLC Users Group IOUG Independent Oracle Users Group ) president and ANTs board member, to develop processes and programs for migrating pilot Sybase applications to the Oracle database using the ANTs Compatibility Server[TM]. The consortium is comprised of leading firms in financial services The examples and perspective in this article or section may not represent a worldwide view of the subject.

Consumer goods may be durable or nondurable. Durable goods (e.g., autos, furniture, and appliances) have a significant life span, often defined as three years or more, and , and other sectors. Each company is dedicating technical resources to this project to assist in the migration process, and is providing valuable feedback to help shape the future of this disruptive database consolidation technology Through this process, which will occur in the third quarter of this year, ANTs will work with some of the most sophisticated and demanding application developers and Sybase users, who will provide ANTs with the feedback it needs to ensure that the ANTs Compatibility Server will meet customers' real-world requirements. While this consortium will focus on migrating applications from Sybase to Oracle, ANTs intends to replicate this model with future consortia to develop variants of the ANTs Compatibility Server supporting other combinations of source and target databases. "We are quite pleased by the strong interest in the ANTs Compatibility Server expressed by these and other companies, all of which are among Sybase's largest customers, and we look forward to working with them during this exciting development phase," said Mr. Kaplan. "These companies all face the same problem: lack of a practical solution for migrating their mission-critical applications to ensure their long-term stability The long-term stability of an oscillator, the degree of uniformity of frequency over time, when the frequency is measured under identical environmental conditions, such as supply voltage, load, and temperature. . Before the ANTs Compatibility Server, the only migration option these companies had was to undertake a massive rewrite of their applications, which is a lengthy, time-consuming task fraught with high costs and high risks." ANTs expects to release the first commercial version of the ANTs Compatibility Server by the end of this year. According to according to prep. 1. As stated or indicated by; on the authority of: according to historians. 2. In keeping with: according to instructions. 3. Kaplan, the ANTs approach is unique in that, with minimal or no changes, applications can be retargeted from Sybase to the Oracle database through the Compatibility Server. Stored procedures In a database management system (DBMS), it is an SQL program that is stored in the database which is executed by calling it directly from the client or from a database trigger. When the SQL procedure is stored in the database, it does not have to be replicated in each client. , queries, triggers, error codes, and other functionality from the Sybase database See SQL Server. run natively on the Compatibility Server, which also connects natively to the new Oracle databases. The Compatibility Server is based on the compatibility and advanced connectivity technologies developed over the last two years by ANTs for its flagship ANTs Data Server. Although today's migration tools typically automate about 50 to 60 percent of the effort required to migrate an application from one database to another, completing the remainder of the migration requires difficult, costly and time-consuming manual efforts. The ANTs Compatibility Server is designed to extend current migration tools to automate the entire process. The ANTs Compatibility Server avoids costly application rewrites by allowing continued use of Sybase native access libraries (JDBC (Java DataBase Connectivity) A programming interface that lets Java applications access a database via the SQL language. Since Java interpreters (Java Virtual Machines) are available for all major client platforms, this allows a platform-independent database , ODBC (Open DataBase Connectivity) A database programming interface from Microsoft that provides a common language for Windows applications to access databases on a network. , DB-LIB or CT-LIB), and automates the translation of all the database objects. In addition to the automation of tables, views, synonyms, constraints and triggers migrations, stored procedures and other server-side application code can be migrated without the immense difficulty of maintaining computer-generated code. ANTs software inc. ANTs software inc. (OTCBB:ANTS), based in Silicon Valley, develops and sells the ANTs Data Server, an affordable, high-performance relational database relational database Database in which all data are represented in tabular form. The description of a particular entity is provided by the set of its attribute values, stored as one row or record of the table, called a tuple. that is compatible with popular databases. The company's mission is to help customers reduce hardware, software, and development costs by providing exceptional database price/performance.
