I have to update a reporting database from a production database on a nightly basis using ssis packages. I have two questions
1. Should i put all my packages into one job or create lots of jobs
2. When updating, should i just drop and recreate the whole table (I suspect not) or just update where NOT existing in the target table

Thanks
PS I think i already know my answers but I want to check with you experts out there.

1. Why are there multiple packages? Could you just use backup/restore instead?
2. Need more information to be able to answer this one.
