Access a Database Without Linked Server

$

Hi,We are upgrading from SQL 2008R2 to SQL2014 but we have discovered that a couple of our applications are not supported on 2014. We'd like to keep one 2008R2 server and one 2014 server until we have time to upgrade the applications and move everything to the new server. The problem is we have custom code in some of the 2014 databases that access tables in the 2008 databases. I know we can easily do cross server joins by using a linked server, but it would be a huge undertaking to find all that code and add a linked server name in front of every table, stored procedure, etc. So my question is, is there any way to move a database to a different server and still be able to access it without having to qualify the object names with a linked server? Is there some kind of server/database synonym that can be setup that would be recognized by all databases?Thanks in advance for your thoughts on this!Lina
