Without knowing how the underlying tables are structured, it's impossible to provide a coded answer. However, I suspect a combination of STRING_AGG() and GROUP BY should get you there. Some...

Indeed. I use localhost for my SQL server connections while developing and that is what gets checked in.

After deploying to another server, it is straightforward (once you know what you...

Do you mean switching from not...

Something like this?

DROP TABLE IF EXISTS #SomeData;

CREATE TABLE #SomeData
(
    Category VARCHAR(50)
   ,SomeDate DATETIME
);

INSERT #SomeData
(
    Category
   ,SomeDate
)
VALUES

From the top of my head, some pros are as follows:

1. Comprehensive execution logging, with built-in reports, is available to you as a 'freebie'. No additional config required.
2. The ability...

One big con depending on what version you are doing is that in Project mode deployment of individual packages isn't possible.  You have to deploy the entire project.  This...

Keywords indeed! OK, here is one way, which (for ordering purposes) relies on every person having a unique Id column.

DROP TABLE IF EXISTS #SomeData;

CREATE TABLE #SomeData

Never seen this function before!

Having said that, if you can transform your source query so that the results look like this, it would be straightforward.

I don't think that there is a 'no code' way of achieving this.

But if you know how to code and use Script Components, this is possible.

There is no support in SSIS for creating PDFs.

However, if you can work out how to create PDFs using .NET assemblies, you may be able to do this by using...

Stored procedure OUTER_TEST calls stored procedure INNER_TEST.

If an error in INNER_TEST, how do I capture the error message (to store in a table). When I have a try-catch...
