Hi ,

We have an .exe file which triggers a DTS to actually export the data out from a large table . The DTS takes usually few hours to complete the job.

Now there is separate requirement to trigger a new DTS that will import data into the same table . The schedule for this import is expected to run sometime between when the previous data export is in progress .

Would like to know whether the above activity i.e parallel data/ import and export is possible on a single table . The data will be a appended rather than truncate before the import and export process .

Will the table be locked by the first export process so that the import process will fail or both can run in parallel with conflicting schedule .

Thanks and Best Regards
