So I'm trying to figure out the purpose of DAC, so I tried reading here; But I am very overwhelmed by the definition (Since technically, I'm still a newbie anyway) Could anyone explain it to me in a very simple manner? based from my understanding, its something used in 3 tier programming. another question would be, could DAC be used like DTS in SQL SERVER 2000?

EDIT: I'm trying to learn DAC through google searches, but I still don't get why this feature is not used, and why even use it

  • "A DAC defines the instance level objects, schemas, and database objects used by a three-tier or client-server application" – Mitch Wheat Nov 17 '16 at 08:30
  • @MitchWheat what's the difference between creating objects in SQL SERVER and DAC? – Mr.J Nov 17 '16 at 08:36
  • I'm still so intrigued by how they picked "DAC" to the be the acronym for "Data-tier Application". Surely "DTA" or "DAP" would have made much more sense. – AllTradesJack Dec 02 '16 at 19:46
  • Whatever the acronym is, I'm still unaware of its use. I would love to learn more about DAC. – Mr.J Dec 03 '16 at 00:07
  • I always thought DAC stands for "Data Access Component": https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms692877(v=vs.85).aspx –  Dec 19 '17 at 07:20
