Automatic Restart of SSIS packages after Failover or Failure
SSIS makes it possible to minimize work lost by starting after the last successfully executed control flow task upon restarting a failed package. From there, one challenge many seek to overcome is automatically restarting that package at that point without any manual intervention. This would make it possible for your SSIS packages to be running, your cluster to failover, and your SSIS packages to restart and complete without you having to respond to the failover and restart them.

Question of the Day
The string_agg function
We create the following table and then insert some records in it:
create table t1 ( id int primary key, category char(1) not null, product varchar(50) ); insert into t1 values (1, 'A', 'Product 1'), (2, 'A', 'Product 2'), (3, 'A', 'Product 3'), (4, 'B', 'Product 4'), (5, 'B', 'Product 5');What happens if we execute the following query in both Sql Server and PostgreSQL?
select id,
category,
string_agg(product, ';')
over (partition by category order by id
rows between unbounded preceding and unbounded following) as stragg
from t1; See possible answers
