Why First-Pass Quality Saves Time
Speed is often measured by how quickly a tool returns converted SQL. But that is only part of the story. The real measure of speed is how quickly a team can move from source SQL to usable SQL in the target database. A poor conversion may take seconds to generate, but hours to fix.

Date handling changes. That is where most traditional converters begin to struggle.
