  We are upgrading our MSSQL2008 DB server to MSSQL2012. Being new to MSSQL2012. My question is will the SSIS packages we have stored in the database be convert as well or do we have to reload them after they have been convert from VS2008 to VS2012?

  Thanks in advance.

  The packages aren't automatically upgraded to the SQL Server 2012 package format.

  Per BOL -

  "At runtime DTEXEC uses temporary upgrade process for an existing SQL Server 2005 or 2008 package that may increase execution time."
