Final answer:
SSIS packages can be executed using SQL Server Management Studio, the dtexec utility, or the SQL Server Agent. You can also run an SSIS Package using a stored procedure by using the sp_start_job procedure to run a job containing your package.
Step-by-step explanation:
There are several ways to execute an SSIS (SQL Server Integration Services) Package. These include:
- SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS): You can right-click a package stored in the SSIS Package Store or the file system, and then click Run Package.
- dtexec utility: It's a command prompt utility that lets you configure and run SSIS packages. It's primarily used for running packages programmatically.
