SSIS training for a cause

,

logoOn Thursday March 14th (PI Day) in Duluth GA, Audrey Hammonds and Julie Smith will put on a spectacular SSIS training event to benefit the Cloverleaf School of Atlanta.

Both Audrey and Julie are SQL Server MVP’s and have given a countless amount of their time to the SQL Server Community over the years. Visit their blog at http://datachix.com/ They have spoken at events all over the country and always draw a crowd. I have had the privelage of working with them to plan SQL Saturday 89 and SQL Saturday 111 in Atlanta.

The day of training will be split into two parts.

Part I Dimensional Modeling with Audrey

  • Why Transactional databases are the way they are—Codd’s rules to live by
  • Why Codd’s rules don’t work for Reporting– Kimball’s rules to live by
  • Fun at the whiteboard converting a transactional model to a dimensional model.

Part II Extract Transform and Load using SSIS with Julie

  • A tour of SSIS

    Control Flow Basics

    Data Flow Basics

  • How to load Dimensions with SSIS
  • How to load Facts with SSIS
  • Why SSIS has got such a bad rap sometimes.
  • Frameworks
  • What happened and when
  • When things go wrong, how to know the details
  • Top quirks of SSIS—what, why, and how to get around them.
