Hi,

I need to find out if a particular table is used in any other DTS SQL tasks, other than the one that I am aware of.

Reason... I want to remove any un-required data from the table as it is HUGE and is having quite an impact. But I need to make sure that I am not going to remove data that is used elsewhere.

There is no "search" function available in DTS. Is there a fairly simple way that I can (maybe programatically) search through all DTS packages for the object name as a string? Other than manually trawling through the many, many packages?

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.


Thanks,
Simon

I am not sure whether this is possible from within SQL Server.
There are some third party tools available which facilitates this. Feel free to google on "DTS Package Search".
