| I use a table to record completion of processes in my database. I want to have a DTS package that waits for an entry in this table. I've setup a query to 'poll' this table and upon success it continues with the rest of the package.On failure, I want the package to wait a period of time (say 5 mins) and then re-poll the table.My question, after a long intro, is pretty short.How do I make DTS wait for 5 mins before continuing?BTW I'm new to this stuff.... |
