You're in the
sql server dts
group:DTS database flexibility
sql server dts:
same tables in another database, deleting records in the destination tables first. How can I easily change the source and destination database references throughout the DTS package so I can reuse the DTS package elsewhere? All the tables will be the same.
I don't really see anything there that addresses this question. I'm working
with SQL Server databases, not Access. There are a bunch of references to code but I'm not a programmer. I'm looking for a place in SQL Server Enterprise Manager where I can alter the DTS package so that it will look to different databases.

You add global variables to the project for the server
name and the database name. Then you add a Dynamic Properties task (look for Dynamic Properties Task in the bol index). You find where the server name is used and set the property from the global variable. Russ Loski, MCSD
That sounds good. I'll look into it. Thanks!

Russ,
I see how this works and it's great! One question I have though is how do I insert a global variable when the property is a SQL Statement? The global variables worked well for setting the server name property which was a value, but now I have a property that's a query like "delete from [DestinationDatabase].[dbo].[PM00100]". How can I embed a global variable into the query for DestinationDatabase? I'm using constants for my global variables.

Can you leave out "[DestinationDatabase].[dbo]" from your SQL statement?

You're right. I don't. Now it works. Thanks!

OK. The concept is the same it just doesn't have Your exact circumstances.
If you are using SQL Server 2000 you have an array of options but the Dynamic Properties task is as good a task as any. You assign a value from an external source to the DataSource AND/OR Catalog properties of your SQL Server connection. That external source ranges from an INI file to a database query.
