    Hi all,

    We have windows/IIS machines with SQL Server.

    At some point we will need to move to Linux.

    The concern I have is with the DTS packages that we would need to port to their equivalent in Linux.

    What is the equivalent of a DTS package on Linux? What do you use to achieve the same type of automated tasks + scheduling capabilities?

    Maybe a cron job running SQL.


    DTS is a feature of SQL server 2000 and below, i.e. its a database feature so finding a linux replacement depends on the database you are going to use.

    thx

    I guess my question is: is there any RDBMS on Linux that has a feature that is like Microsoft DTS?

    I suppose we gonna use MySQL but if another rdbms is better suited for the job we can go for it.

    Thank you.
