What is Data Transformation Services?
DTS is a high-end, sophisticated, COM-based solution for a wide range of data exchange. COM makes the perfect implementation because it is first and foremost a separation of interface and implementation. DTS is a way to move data from one OLE DB data source to another OLE DB data source. This can be from Microsoft Excel to Microsoft SQL Server, SQL Server to Microsoft Access, Microsoft Excel to Microsoft Access and so forth. The design is such that it is solely based on the OLE DB specification for the source and destination.
