SQL Server 2005上的SSIS 2008？

Question

Is there any way to get the benefits of SSIS 2008 (including the performance improvements) while still working with a SQL Server 2005 database? It seems like it still pulls the data from OLE, so I don't see how it would be a problem. I'm running the package from the dtproj file, not loaded onto the server.

Answer 1

使用2005或2000甚至版本7数据库没有问题但是我不认为你可以在装有SQL Server 2005的盒子上安装SSIS 2008，因为你很可能需要支付单独的许可证

Answer 2

I have asked microsoft licensing and installing 2008 components on a 2005 instance can be done at no extra charge. We plan on doing this for reporting, but still want to install 2005 on the server to do some warm-standby mirroring.

edit: I assume you would need software assurance (somewhat obvious, but otherwise you would have to pay for the 2008 upgrade anyway.)
