I have a table structure that is being used in a number of packages in a
create statment. I just noticed that one of the fields should be a numeric
type in stead of a char, is there a way to run a search and replace on the
Create statement either within a DTS package or through a sp or other admin
function?

Thanks

Hello Munch,

Sure you can. I presume the statement in question is in an ExecuteSQL task
or three.

What you will need to do is this


Loop over the packages

Enumerating DTS Packages using VB.Net
(http://www.sqldts.com/default.aspx?250)

Open the packages in code

Loop through the package's Tasks collection

Ensure it is an ExecuteSQL task (CustomTaskID == DTSExecuteSQLTask)

Read the SQLStatement property

Change it

Save the Package back using code
