Product Description
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.

Reader ReviewsHaven't gotten too far into this book yet. Almost gave up on the whole book just based on my experiences in Chapter 2. It is full of errors. The calls to the lookups have the parameters in the wrong order in listing 2.1 and 2.2. The instructions in chapter 2 are confusing and hard to follow. You shouldn't mix Sql 7 and 2000 together. They should be in separate sections.He references a task on page 36 that doesn't even exist. I spent a whole day trying to interpret what I was really supposed to do. I finally did so, but someone needs desperately to edit this chapter. As I get further into this book, I will update this review. Hopefully, it will improve as I go thru it.
