| I have been a kernel programmer all my lfie and just switched careers into the database world. Going through the SQL Server handbook I have come across the term "legacy" quite so often. Can someone please clarify what the term means and what context is it used? Thanks. |

| It often means something inherited from older versions/system, still in use. It is also very hard to change the behaviour fo the legacy component.Peter LarssonHelsingborg, Sweden |

| It often referes to support for an older technology that is now surpassed by something new, it also often is a last call to start using the new 'stuff', because new versions will problery no longer support it.-- Alice came to a fork in the road. "Which road do I take?" she asked. "Where do you want to go?" responded the Cheshire cat. "I don't know," Alice answered. "Then," said the cat, "it doesn't matter." |
