Your application code may look neat and clean, and you are using a sound Object-relational Mapper, but when you put the pedal to the metal, you're not getting the performance. The time has come to lift the hood and see what SQL is being generated by the ORM, and what part of your code is causing the bottlenecks. The effect can be spectacular.

Conditional Split is one of the most commonly used transforms in any SSIS Package development routine. The limitation with conditional split is that any record that satisfies the first condition from the conditions list is routed to its corresponding path exclusively. In a logical sense, a record might satisfy more than one condition and one might want the record to be routed to all paths for processing, but with the Conditional Split transform this is not possible. We need a more intelligent conditional split where we can selectively route the records to more than one output path. In this tip we will look at how to facilitate this intelligent conditional split.

My company uses replication quite extensively across SQL 2000, SQL 2005 and SQL 2008 servers. The problem with using different versions of SQL Server is that the replication options do not always behave the same way. Because of these differences we have stopped using SQL Server Management Studio and Enterprise Manager to setup replication. Also we have taken the time to look at the schema options for replication to make sure the end result is the same for all versions of SQL Server.
