Good find. A post by Alton no less...while working on ACS. Interesting, I worked with db queries and stored procedures, so I get the generalities of what is being said. It is a little old post but still informative.
No I had not seen that. Thanks. A few observations.
This was Ants first version of the two we know for a fact to exist, so there's no telling what has improved with the Sybase to IBM version. Note this excerpt.
"As all DBAs know there will be tuning after the process. Also just so everyone knows we do have development plans that we know will resolve nearly all performance issues. One plan would require the use of 11g and since most users are not using 11g will will release those features in 2008."
Don't confuse the ACS with one of numerous migration tools.
"ACS is not another migration tool. Oracle already does migrations using Oracle Migration Workbench and SQL*Developer."
And when he talks about the cost/benefit ratio and performance issues which will of course change with upgrades to the product let alone what the AAA might bring to the table, I can't help but wonder what an ADS/ACS might do to those ratios.
Looking at the original post that Alton is responding to I noticed the 4 points addressed came from Ants website. Compare #3 to the information on the current website(ACS page) and there is a difference. The addition of Oracle's OCI API. Would they have needed this for the Sybase to IBM version? The ADS is very compatible with OCI. It appears to an amateur( I'm being overly generous with that particular word)) that most of those API's were needed for the sending end(the old database) and not the one you're moving to. You can see where I'm going with this. We just need a knowledgable person to offer their opinions on these speculations.
