Abstract :
This paper describes some of the difficulties involved in migrating a flat file database accounting system to a relational platform. Included in the discussion are such factors as data reengineering, data collection processing and partial reengineering of legacy systems. We present a case study which was undertaken on a large scale flat file database system. We discuss possible solutions to the problems
