is there a way with DTS to copy data from source to destination and filter on the source data before it is copied? like ".....where status = 1"
1. Use "User a Query to specify data to transfer" in 3rd step(Specify Table Copy or Query) of DTS. 2. Goto Query Builder 3. Select the columns needed 4. You can specify the creteria in next screen. HTH Harsh
Yes if the current package is set to transfer tables, then you need to recreate another one for completion using DTS wizard. Satya SKJ Moderator http://www.SQL-Server-Performance.Com/forum This posting is provided “AS IS†with no rights for the sake of knowledge sharing.
