  • RE: fact.date BETWEEN dimension.date1 and dimension.date2

  • RE: Related measures

    "I am looking to connect the TestDetails dimensions to the test measure".

  • RE: Related measures

    Not as far as I am aware.

    You state the requirement is to run the tasks in parallel, but why ?

  • RE: Problem: Slowly Changing Dimension - 2 rows with the same PK

    The assumptions been made in the replies that the PK of the data source is the PK in the Dimension which normally it wouldn't be. The PK source acts as...

  • RE: SSIS issue when run with transaction

    I have had so many issues with TransactionOption in SSIS that I don't use it anylonger. It is not a feature within SSIS that I trust.

  • RE: Merge Join Question

    To further clarify a point, the Merge Join may have to be directly connected to the data source when the data source 'IsSorted' property is set to True. If there...

  • RE: Partitioning in SQL Server 2008

    A very nice interesting and easy to read article on partitioning.
