Customer wants to migrate their existing client-server application to  
web application. The web application needs to use the legacy database  
used by the client server application. Can we use legacy database in  
ROR?  
Any issue we will face in ActiveRecord model? Rails Migration concept  
works for legacy database?

If you are worked in this kind of projects kindly share your experience.
