With the other frameworks the process usually goes something like:
You have an existing database
You generate a data access layer for your application based off of the
database schema
You "map" your application code to the data access layer
It doesn't break the existing database structure

With Ur/Web (from what I understand):
You build your application model in ur/web
It generates a database schema
You have to import the legacy data into a computer generated database
schema
You can't use the old database
Any other applications that interface with the old database now have to be
rewritten
