Variables to refer to server

  • Why are you trying to make this dynamic? If you are extracting data from one system and loading it into another (ETL process), you really need to have a fixed set of columns and known data that you are extracting.

    Any schema changes need to be accounted for in both systems and the process updated appropriately.

    I would also recommend that you build an integration services package (SSIS). It will be much more effective.

  • Use the data import wizard to set up a basic package. From there, you can add to it.

    there are lots of SSIS articles here on the site (http://www.sqlservercentral.com/Articles/SSIS) as well as sqlis.com

  • I want to create a scheduled program which will run everyday at partocular time, hit some SOURCE database and store the data in DESTINATION database.

    - Is it possible using SSIS?

    - If yes, can anyone provide the link/documentation to do the same.

    Thansk a lot.

    - Prash..

  • That is the whole purpose of SSIS - I would recommend using BOL and http://www.sqlis.com to get you started.

  • And using dynamic configurations, you can change servers and databases as easily as modifying a configuration file. A good book is from Wrox, Professional SQL Server 200r Integration Services, iirc.

    I don't have it handy, but it is the book I first bought when I started working with SSIS.
