Hello,

I'm new to SSIS. I need help to direct me where to start.

There are 2 SQL servers: A and B. SQL server A is 2005 while SQL server B is 2000.

SQL Server A has database: shoppingcart A.
SQL Server B has database: shoppingcart B.

shoppingcart A has 3 tables:RegisteredUsersA, OrdersA, OrderItemsA

shoppingcart B has 3 tables:RegisteredUsersB, OrdersB, OrderItemsB,

RegisteredUsersA and RegisteredUsersB are NOT identical tables.
OrdersA and OrdersB are NOT identical tables.
OrderItemsA and OrderItemsB are NOT identical tables.

I need to transfer data from shoppingcart A tables to shoppingcart B tables when there is an order saved into shoppingcart A database. Calcautation and query are needed in order to transfer correct data. The average transaction is 10 per day.

Questions:
1. Should I setup a trigger on OrderA table, whenerever this table is updated?
2. Should I use SSIS to transfer data from shoppingcart A to shoppingcart B? If yes, how can I start in SSIS, control flow, data flow?
3. Is there any other way to achieve this?

Your help is appreciated.

Thanks,

Shirley

if you dont want this to happen at real time, you can schedule a nightly job which executes ssis package which transfers only changed (new/modified) data from tables to corresponding ones in shoppingcartB . You may require audit columns on your tables to identify changed data (delta change) each day.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply.
The transaction needs to be run at real time.

So should I use trigger to start the transaction? And can trigger trigger a stored procedure? If yes, then i don't need SSIS.

Your help is appreciated.

Thanks,

Shirley

if real time, i think you need trigger.

whats the need of ssis here? isnt it just a matter of cross db insert?

Hi,

That's why I'm not sure whether I need SSIS or not.
Is it possible to setup a trigger and then trigger a store procedure?

Your help is appreciated.

Thanks,

Shirley

why you need separate sp? isnt it enough to write logic in trigger itself?
