  • RE: SSIS Flat File Out -- How do I drop the final CR/LF?

    Maybe you could try a script task to solve this problem. After you've created the file, you could open it in .NET and go to the last line to delete...

  • RE: SSIS how to when columns names change

    SSIS is very sensitive about metadata changes.

    With out-of-the-box SSIS, there is not much that you can do than manually remap the columns each time they change.

    But maybe you could try...

  • RE: Lookups with huge datasets

    cmbrooks08 (10/8/2010)


    Sorry it took so long to respond to this everybody.

    We ended up pulling the max date out of the dimension, then only loading records newer than that. In...

  • RE: Persisted vs Non-persisted Computed columns

    Nice question.

    I was afraid it was some trick question of some exotic behaviour of SQL Server (with the no lock hints and everything), but luckily common sense was enough to...

  • RE: One Million Posts

    Congratulations!

    SSC is a wonderful site and I have learned tons of things in the past few months.

    I'm certain I will still learn a lot more here at SSC.

    Keep up the...

    Join your source (staging) table with the destination (dimension/fact table)

    If your data source is on the same server as the dimension table, then I agree with you....

  • RE: Lookups with huge datasets

    If SSIS 2005:

    you can use a left outer join in your data source. Join your source (staging) table with the destination (dimension/fact table) with the no lock hint. If your...

  • RE: Error in SSIS destination source

    Phil Parkin (10/6/2010)


    Does View/Error List give you anything useful?

    That is indeed the place to find your errors/warning. Just make sure you haven't filtered the errors out. (you can enable/disable the...

  • RE: SSIS's example in a single point

    I have used the following book and it is quite comprehensive:

    Professional MS SQL Server 2008 Integrations Services from Wrox. (one of the authors is Brian Knight)

  • RE: Fun with IDENTITY - Part II

    Great question! Definately learned something today.

  • RE: SSIS Cache/Lookup vs Linked Server Query

    _rmullen_ (10/5/2010)


    But if the tools in SSIS behave so poorly..why are they there? Are they meant for small datasets?

    Well, that statement is largely incorrect. Some components of SSIS behave poorly....

  • RE: Excel connection parameter

    Jason Coleman (10/5/2010)


    Does the SQL Server Agent account has the necessary privileges to access the Excel file?

    Sounds like this might be the cause....how can I check this though?

    Thx

    Check the...

  • RE: Dynamic column names at the destination

    Well, you can't. At least not with out-of-the-box SSIS.

    There are possibly some commercial add-ins that let you achieve this task.

    So basically, you are stuck with scripting. Either in a Script...

  • RE: Clustered Indexes

    Good question!

    At the time of writing, only 34% have the right answer. So it is a good question indeed to refreshen some concepts about clustered index.

    Another great resource is this...

  • RE: SSIS Cache/Lookup vs Linked Server Query

    _rmullen_ (10/4/2010)


    So join/linked server would (and do) work...any reason *not* to use the lookup in SSIS with a cache connection manager?

    Reasons why I normally don't use the lookup component:

    * sensitivity...
