Best way to execute a DTS package via OSQL

  • What is the best method to execute a DTS package via OSQL?

  • You can use the dtsrun utility directly from the command prompt

  • can it be run from a machine that doesn't have sql installed though?

  • You will need to have the appropriate DLL's etc... in order to run DTS. From memory, I think that there is a list over a http://www.sqldts.com

    Bear in mind that DTS is a client application and will execute on the machine it's started from. This means that if you start a DTS package on a third machine that performs a datapump between two other SQL Servers then the data will actually flow through that third machine.
