• What's the purpose of the Queue dimension table?

    SSIS is great for performing ETL, so yes, if you have the knowledge and you're comfortable developing packages then go ahead and use it. It also comes with components specifically designed for data warehousing such as the Slowly Changing Dimension component.

    Good luck!

    It takes a minimal capacity for rational thought to see that the corporate 'free press' is a structurally irrational and biased, and extremely violent, system of elite propaganda.

    Society has varying and conflicting interests; what is called objectivity is the disguise of one of these interests - that of neutrality. But neutrality is a fiction in an unneutral world. There are victims, there are executioners, and there are bystanders... and the 'objectivity' of the bystander calls for inaction while other heads fall.
