Where Do You Store Your IS, AS Packages? 2

[JohnBates]

hi all,

As you know, the default location for IS packages we develop is My Documents\Visual Studio 2005\Projects\ on the database server.

Do you store the packages on a file server or on the SQL Server?

How you found that one location is better than another?

Thanks, John

I like keeping them on the server, but I think that is just a matter of preference.

I do think storing them on the server *probably* makes it easier to schedule jobs and what not (never having tried storing them on the file system, I'm not sure).

What about you?

I keep the development versions on my workstation and in Source Control. For the production versions I keep them in the MSDB database.

Thanks for the feedback, gentlemen.

I've decided (at least for now) that we will store packages as SQL Server, on the database server, not file system.
Into a common folder shared by the 3 developers plus me. We dont use VSS. I'd like to avoid that unless we get more developers - that might require using it.
