Not too familiar with dtsx packages – can they be created/run outisde Visual Studio?
Is BIDS (Business Intelligence Development Studio) just required to do all the above (in Visual Studio) or is it an independent development enviroment for dtsx packages?
Please shed some light if you can (and get some eazy rep)!
Absolutely! Just double click on it (launches
dtexecui.exe) or use thedtexeccommand. See how all the ways stack up here.Answering some of the other questions:
BIDS is the sole environment to build SSIS packages. You could handwrite the XML, but good luck to you on that one. BIDS is a standalone product as well as an integrated one, so just install it off of the SQL Server DVD. You will not have to buy Visual Studio in order to use BIDS.
