DTS package query

[madankarmukta]

Hi All,

I want to execute two sql statement conditionally in a single SQLTask of the DTS package -

Is it possible to implement this ?

Please reply.

Thanks!

Hi Delerna,

Thank you for the reply.

I would like to know about it's implementation.

Could you please help me?

Thanks!

Yes I can help but your question is too general

I get the "choose between two queries"...but based on what condition?


In DTS you can make a choice between two tasks based on
The success status of a third task.
The result of some VB code.
The content of a record in a table.
You can execute a stored proc passing parameters and let the stored proc make the choice
etc etc etc.



Also
Why must it be a single SQLTask?
If 3 or 4 tasks are necessary to achieve your desired result what does it matter?

I guess to answer your question in generic tems then a simple generic example might suffice
one way is just like you would make a choice in any language.
Useing TSQL syntax, something like this
[code=sql]
IF condition
BEGIN
trueSQLQuery
END ELSE BEGIN
falseSQLQuery
END
[/code]
