Home Forums SQL Server 7,2000 Strategies A Case For Concatenation (Building Delimited Strings ) In T-SQL RE: A Case For Concatenation (Building Delimited Strings ) In T-SQL

  • [font="Verdana"]Any chance of you sharing some of the techniques you're using for that? I've been doing similar things, building an ODS for a client company. But I use bcp 😀

    I have issues with SSIS. Namely, to use it well, you have to be fluent in not one, but three programming languages at once (SQL for your database connections, VB for any plug-in code and C for the inline code). It's incredibly complex, and it's insanely hard to try and modify. I have met several companies who have SSIS packages that everyone flat out refuses to change simply because of the complexity of even just understanding what it does.

    Give me well-written straight line code in T-SQL any day. It may not perform quite as well as well-written SSIS, but at least I can easily understand and change it.
