The best example I have seen of using this task is by Itzik Ben-Gan in
SQL Server Magazine.

Personally I think this task on large datasets is slow. It is used
rather like Oracle's INSERT ELSE UPDATE thing and that is slow as well.

I would look to create linked servers and use the data in that way.

I have to Update an Access DB Table from Values out of an SQL Server Table,
where both have an ID column (SQL Server Identity).

Some rows in the Access Tabele have to be updated from the SQL Server table
as the source.

I thought using a data driven task would be the right thing ... I need a
simple, detailed example for this simple task; BOL doesn't really help, and I
also didn't find any matching example in the web.

Now I'm fiddling the whole day with it and only get erros. I have made the
SQL Server table the source, and the Access table the "Binding table", have
made many experiments with the "Transformations", where I match the IDs and
the columns to be updated, and create an "Update" Query with question marks,
but I don't know how the matching of the question marks is made (it isn't
documented in any way), is the first Parameter the first question mark
appearing in the query ? Even when I change the Parameters under the query,
after pressing "OK" everything is reset as it was before. Have the
transformations anything to do with the question mark matching ?
