Is it true that DTS is going to be replaced in the all-new 64-bit SQL Server
2003? If so, what by?

Not sure where you heard that rumor. DTS is still a component of SQL Server
and will continue to be.

What "all-new 64-bit SQL Server 2003"? There's a 64-bit version of SQL
Server 2000 with almost identical functionality to the old 32-bit version
(so it's hardly "all-new"), but no other major new versions of SQL Server
are expected this year.

Thanks for clearing that up.
Isn't there a new release of SQL Server due sometime soon though, if not
this year then next?

The next major release of SQL Server is codenamed Yukon. As far as I'm
aware, no release date has been officially announced, but I'm currently
guessing it will ship in late 2004 (if you do a search on the Internet,
you'll find lots of possible release dates -- as with all major software
releases, the later the date, the more likely it is to be true). You'll hear
plenty about it long before it ships, and as it's a very big release you can
expect a long public beta test period.

With a gap of about four years between major releases, there will be a *lot*
of changes in this release compared to SQL Server 2000, but as far as I'm
aware, no key functionality will be lost (though some ways of achieving that
functionality will be replaced). Yukon isn't just SQL Server 2000 with a few
new features.
