I've a Giant table that i must empty every day.
I use a DTS for that, with a SQL Task 'Delete from TAB0000', but this task take a lot more that i could expect. I think we deletes line by line...

Can anyone give any ideias to optimise this? I thought 'Delete all', but that dont work (maybe is not SQL standart).

Why do you use dts to run an sql command?

==========================================
Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.
DTS can be used in a similar way.

Sounds ideal for job steps.
Problem with dts is that you'll have to put in error checking all over the place.

I'm still struggling to get used to this enterprise manager thing that turns up with sql server now.
