Data transformation services

Hi

I was told that using DTS will allow me to schedule stored procedures to keep an sql database up to date. For example if a user registers but does not activate the registration, his details will be removed by a stored procedure which is scheduled to run every 24 hours. I use to use the global.asax file to fire a update by using a file containing a the date of the last update and then by adding 24 hours to it, it would execute a SP to delete unwanted data.

I have tried to install DTS with no success. I am running the following

Visual web studio express

SQL 2005 Express. (From SQLExpr_exe) and I have told it to install all the extra components

Installed SQLEXPR_Toolkit.exe with all its options

Installed SQLServer2005_DTS.MSI

When I go into the sql server using MS SQL Server Management Studio Express. I cannot see the Data transformation services node. I have also just installed server reports which I had no problems installing.

Can somebody please help me.

DTS is a SQL2000 component; SQL2005 hasa totally rewritten equivalent called SSIS. An SSIS (SQL Server Integration Sercvices) job amongst other things will run stored procedures for you. However it is SQL Agent that provides the scheduling capability.

Hi

Thanks for the reply. I need to know where to download the ssis installation application. The other thing is my service provider that I use uses SQL2000. Im developing in SQL Express 2005. How will I deploy the scheduled jobs to there server if im using the newer version.
