Weak point: you need to reload ACE any time data changed.
Please, let me know if you (or anybody) are interested in this stuff:
Ill be glad to send all information I have
To export data from ACE, one needs to process .ace file (e.g., simple awk) and
bcp it into Sybase. A simple but cumbersome process.
The tricky point is to design compatible ACE and Sybase DBs....
