SQL Server Dts (Landmark)

This book appeals to both developers and database administrators who are faced with the common situation of having to migrate or integrate data from one location into another.

While the first section of the book is designed for the beginner to DTS, it is assumed that the reader has at least basic database and programming experience. The second section is extensive coding, and is best used by someone with intermediate to advanced programming skills. The third section contains a mix of examples that will be useful to all levels of database administrators and programmers. For the readers who have been using DTS this section can be used as a reference section and help with DTS designs and usage. Unlike other resources available, this book covers data transformation in both SQL Server 7 and 2000.

Explains techniques for using the data transformation services (DTS) that come packaged with the SQL server. The authors describe the components of DTS, building a DTS package with Visual Basic, and building a data warehouse with DTS and analysis services. The final section offers case studies for applying DTS tools, such as custom error logging, creating a custom task, executing a DTS package from a stored procedure, and data lineage.
