Comments on: SQL Express used for SSIS? http://itknowledgeexchange.techtarget.com/itanswers/sqlexpress/ Tue, 21 May 2013 23:11:32 +0000 hourly 1 By: taulpall http://itknowledgeexchange.techtarget.com/itanswers/sqlexpress/#comment-67211 taulpall Thu, 20 Aug 2009 23:19:12 +0000 #comment-67211 SSIS is a separate Windows Service from the SQL Server database engine and which is not dependent upon other Windows Services. SSIS Services are not included with SQL Server Express. However, as with just about any data source, a SQL Server Express database can be either a source or target for an SSIS Package.

Is it your intention to develop SSIS Packages or to simply deploy SSIS Packages? Typically one would use BIDS (Business Intelligence Development Studio) to develop SSIS Packages (it’s really just Visual Studio). BIDS is installed with SQL Server Standard, Enterprise and Developer Editions.

SSIS is a standalone set of libraries that do not require SQL Server to run. I believe you do need a standard or enterprise edition of SQL server to get the SSIS libraries, but I am not sure.
