Our DB Admin stated that DTS was the best way to go but that we had to download that data into temporary import tables and then use a separate application to update the records or delete the unused records. He said that this was needed b/c of the DTS Locking on a table level and would disallow other accesses to the DB. Is this true that I must write a separate application to load data from a temp table into our production tables? Thanks for all your help, great site as well I might add."
