Data Transformation Services (DTS)

Data Transformation Services (DTS) allows you to import and export data between multiple heterogeneous sources that use an OLE DB–based architecture such as Microsoft Excel spreadsheets, and to transfer databases and database objects (for example, indexes and stored procedures) between multiple computers running SQL Server 7.0. You can also use DTS to transform data so that it can be used more easily to build data warehouses and data marts from an online transaction processing (OLTP) system.

The DTS Wizard allows you to interactively create DTS packages that use OLE DB and ODBC to import, export, validate, and transform heterogeneous data. The wizard also allows you to copy schema and data between relational databases.
