importing Data from OBDC Source in SSIS

  • I have legecey DTS Packages that connect to a third party Database to update daily. I can not create any new packages using obdc in SSIS. I had read one comment that said to use the Data Reader for the souce. This still does not seem to work. Any Ideas. I like 2005 but still need data from OBDC daily.

    Thanks

  • Grant,

    We ran into this same issue.  Within a SSIS package, there is a SQL 2000 DTS package step.  You can go in & do your ODBC "stuff" within the DTS package.  What we have also done is create the DTS package on a SQL 2000 server & then migrate it over to our SQL 2005 box.  Either way has worked very well for us so far.

    HTH,

    John

  • I am just concerned about the need for it in the future. I would like to go full SQL 2005 since there are so many good features. Maybe I can keep developer copy of SQL 2000 to create the packages and then import them.

    Hopefully Microsoft will put this connection back in.

    Thanks
