RE: DTS export problem

  • Reply

If you are transferring the whole db, I would not use DTS, I would use T-SQL jobs to do backup and restore. If they are on seperate machines you could use a command shell script to copy the file over. There is the copy db wizard in DTS that you could look at as well

RE: Bringing In Oracle Tables Weekly and Assigning Permissions

  • Reply
