In addition to performing import, export, and data transformations between heterogeneous data sources, you can use the DTS Import and DTS Export wizards to transfer objects and data from one Microsoft® SQL Server™ version 7.0 database to another. The objects you can transfer include tables, views, stored procedures, defaults, rules, user-defined data types, logins, users, roles, and indexes.
After you specify the source and destination SQL Server databases to use, and have chosen the option to transfer object and data, select which of the objects to transfer.
| Use this | To do this |
|---|---|
| Create destination objects | Create destination objects for all objects (tables, view, stored procedures, referential integrity constraints, or indexes) to be transferred (default). |
| Drop destination objects first | Drop all corresponding destination objects before creating new ones as a result of task execution. |
| Include all dependent objects | Include all dependent objects, such as the tables supporting a particular view, in the transfer of data. |
| Copy data | Enable the copying of SQL Server data from source to destination, and enable the copy options specified below (default). |
| Replace existing data | Overwrite any existing data in the destination objects with new data from the specified source. |
| Append data | Retain existing destination data, and append new data from the specified source. |
| Transfer all objects | Transfer all objects associated with the specified data source (default). Clearing this box allows you to select which objects you want to transfer. Transferring selected objects is useful if you want to reduce overhead, or are only working with a narrow subset of objects. |
| Select objects | Select which objects are available for transfer from a list, if the Transfer all objects box is cleared. |
| Use default options | Sets the advanced transfer options to their defaults (default). (To view the advanced transfer options, clear this box and click Options.) |
| Options | Access the advanced transfer options, if the Use default options box is cleared. |
| Script file directory | Specify that the SQL statements required to perform the transfer operation are stored in an SQL script in the specified directory. |
If you choose Select objects rather than Transfer all objects, these choices are displayed in Select Object dialog box.
