    Frank raises several good points, especially about what a resource hog SSIS can be if it's on the same server as a DW or heavily used OLTP DB. Everything should...

  • RE: Boss wants me to avoid "Execute SQL" tasks

    No flames here. @=)

    I don't know how it works in 2008, but I have done tests in 2005 where an Execute SQL task has proved 5 times faster than doing...

  • RE: DT_DBTimeStamp woes with unchangible Source & Dest

    Michael,

    I understand that perfectly. But I don't know DTS very well, so trying to figure out what the package was actually doing was driving me batty.

    I just discovered my REAL...

  • RE: Time Dimension

    This sounds like a database design issue, not an SSIS issue. If I'm wrong, please post more details, like the design of your tables & flat files and the...

  • RE: Update command taking long time to execute

    The OLE DB Command in Data Flow works on a Row By Row basis. RBAR at its finest. @=)

    If you have something huge to update, you're better off trying to...

  • RE: Control Flow Task (Urgent)

    I don't know about the second one, but I think you need to write some SQL code to "ping" the server or do a simple select statement on a small...

  • RE: Another "ARGH": Embedded text qualifiers

    Great. Yet another thing to delay the conversion of our "end of lease" box. Boss is going to love this one.

    I voted on the issue and commented. I guess I'd...

  • RE: Create variables at package runtime

    I've looked around and can't seem to find anything about creating the variables at run time. I'm sorry. The closest I can come is Dynamic SQL which you could stick...

  • RE: Create variables at package runtime

    Opps. Ignore the "environment variable" comment. I think you'd have to choose "SQL Server" in that dialogue box.

  • RE: Create variables at package runtime

    Jane,

    You might be able to create the variables in a SQL Table that is accessed by a config file. That way, you don't have to create each variable inside the...

  • RE: Create variables at package runtime

    Jane,

    You do have to create the variable at package creation time. However, you can wait to populate it, or repopulate it, at run time. So the workaround is to...
