Abstract
The mechanism is directed to a method and apparatus which provides a technique and tools to allow a combination of existing customer databases to be used by transforming a portion of the data in the existing data warehouses into a second data structure. Advantageously, greater functionality can be achieved by using new application programs while existing application programs can continue to be used without changes to code of the existing applications.
