* You are happy with adding a DataFlow task to the designer in Workflow
* You are happy to configure an OLEDB Source adapter
* You are comfortable with configuring mappings in the Destination adapter

To do some of the stuff we wanted in SQL Server 2000 DTS we had put together some serious glue code and to be honest it wasn't pretty. One of the things that we used to have to do this way was if we wanted to implement using workflow constraints a Logical OR.

Although partitioning tables and indexes has always been a design tactic chosen to improve performance and manageability in larger databases, Microsoft SQL Server 2005 has new features that simplify the design. This whitepaper describes the logical progression from manually partitioning data by creating your own tables to the preliminary features, which enabled partitioning through views in SQL Server 7.0 and SQL Server 2000, to the true partitioned table features available in SQL Server 2005. In SQL Server 2005, the new table-based partitioning features significantly simplify design and administration of partitioned tables while continuing to improve performance.
