sql server dts : DTS Question - Transform Data Task


Paul

I am trying to write my first DTS in SQL Server 2000.

It is a very simple DTS. All it does is execute a query from a table in SQL
Server A and copy the results (transform data task) to a table in SQL Server
B. I am sure the query is good because I tested it.

So, using DTS Designer, I use SQL Server authentication for Connection A and
use the "sa" account. I also use SQL Server authentication for Connection B
and use the "sa" account.

I use a Transform Data task for the query. I then go to the Transformations
tab of the task and click the "test" button for each transformation.

The Package Execution Results says that the package was successfully
completed.

But then I click the "View Results" button and no results are returned for
that column? This is true for all the columns.

That is the problem.

Could you help me? I can't recall where or when the "View Results" button
displays.

Thank you everyone for your responses.

As it turns out, it was a permissions problem (isn't it always). The sa user
didn't have the proper permissions to the view which I was extracting data
from.

The DTS was fine.

Thanks.

If you test the transform then you get the same window up that you get
when using an AX transform. There is a "View Results" button there

Do any rows get returned when you execute the package as a whole?

The sa user did not have permissions?

The sa user will always have permissions on its box because it is the
sysadmin.
