Slightly OT, but here at work we've been putting off the 2005 upgrade because of the dramatic changes MS did. If you're just using the DB, you're fine, but we've got a LOT of DTS packages and we use Analysis Services/Proclarity, and AS is a huge upgrade challenge as well. Personally I think DTS is a piece of [EMAIL PROTECTED] compared to SSIS, but that doesn't matter when you're looking at converting hundreds of DTS packages to SSIS. None of this means that we're moving to MySQL, it's just going to be a painful upgrade. The purchase price is expensive, but is a drop in the bucket when you've got to budget a lot of money for a 3 to 6 month project. ---------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This transmission may contain information that is privileged, confidential and/or exempt from disclosure under applicable law.
