DTS Stored How?

  • How is DTS information stored?  Is there a file name and extension for each package?  Please enhance my understanding. . . . .

     

  • DTS packages are stored in the msdb.dbo.sysdtspackages table. 

    You can save your DTS packages as a structured storage file (.dts extension) by clicking the Package/Save As menu and selecting "Structured Storage File" in the location drop-down box.

  • Hi, using structured staorage files is a useful way of transporting packages from installation to new installation. However, if you have password protected your original package, when saving it as a structured storage file remeber to re-enter your passwords. failure to do so will allow anyone to access the contents of the file and hence open, edit and run the packages you have created.
