  • 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?

    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.

  • 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...

  • RE: Excel connection parameter

    OK, so everything is hard coded into the package?

    No use of variables somewhere that can change during runtime?

    Does the SQL Server Agent account has the necessary privileges to access the...
