Books on implementing data lineage

  • I have also looked and not been able to find anything. And although in general I'm a big fan of Ralph Kimball's books, I find it disappointing that he talks about the importance of lineage without making any practical suggestions to go about doing that.

  • Some ETL tools such as Informatica have data lineage built in. To my knowledge, SSIS does not. You'll have to either build on SSIS's auditing features or maybe find a third-party add on.

  • Hi,

    Thank you for the replies. Our workflows are made in informatica, but for the lineage info they ask for extra money, so we need to do it ourselves :-).

    We will eventually do it step by step and improve it as we go along.

    Basically we created a metadata db that will be populated from the informatica workflows.

    If I find anything useful, I will post it here, but I'm not very optimist:-).
