Auto update to sql server tables

I'm changing data storage for an asp.net project from MS Access to Sql Server. I've got the web site working, but I need to update the sql server tables with data from our Oracle db daily. What is the "best" way to do that?

I've read about DTS, but have never done anything like that. Would it be worth the time and effort to study? (So far I've created a package, with the import wizard, that doesn't work & I don't have the authority to delete :-)

I know I could create a dataset with my Oracle data and use that to update sql server. But is there a way to schedule an aspx to run authomatically? Would this affect performance? The sql server db isn't very big (30-40,000 records), but the Oracle db is & I need to do quite a bit of manipulation to the data.

This is new to me & I'm don't know what I should be searching for to find help. And if there is a more appropriate place to post this question, please let me know.

Thanks.Yes. DTS is one good way to go and it is very easy to do.

Do you need to purge the data in your SQL before each load? Then the account has to have the right.

You can schedule the DTS to run at whatever time you want.
