Abstract
A computer system and method for accessing an altered database architecture using existing code. The present invention transforms information which is stored in a new format in a database such that it appears to existing code to be stored in an old format. In so doing, existing code which was originally designed to access the information stored in the old format is able to access the information stored in the new format. Thus, the present invention allows a user to access information contained within an altered database architecture using existing code.
