  • RE: SSIS Package with a Derived Column

    I make it a practice to open SSIS and SSDT as administrator to avoid annoying permission errors. This error seems to appear most frequently during the Data Flow process.

  • RE: DELETED

    You don't say what's wrong, and it looks like a homework assignment.  Please provide additional information.

  • RE: When is too many columns too many columns?

    What may make sense is to create MORE of these big ol' flat tables that breaks things into more narrowly defined sets. 

    As it's a fact table, breaking...

  • RE: When is too many columns too many columns?

    Again, you'll have to go with what works for you.  I don't know enough about the data.  In my system, an order is going to eventually be closed, whether via...

  • RE: When is too many columns too many columns?

    Breaking out the date and time is the correct approach if both items are dimensionalized.  Otheriwse the row count gets out of hand quickly. 

    As for the dates, if...

  • RE: Does denormalizing the data enhance performance?

    The answer to your question is yes, denormalization can definitely help performance.  Unfortunately it can also lead to inconsistent data.  I'll state plainly that I have sometimes lost design battles...

  • RE: When is too many columns too many columns?

    That can't possibly be normalized or a fact table.

    Without a review of the data, this cannot be definitively established.  That said, that is a lot of...

  • RE: Script Tasks and input and output variables

    OK, I see.  You knew the list was there, you just wondered if there was a way to determine that in code.  Can't think of a scenario for that, as...

  • RE: Script Tasks and input and output variables

    I might be missing something as the question seems straightforward, but are there two lists accessed via the interface.  One list is the read only variables, the other the read...

  • RE: FailParentOnFailure or ForcedExecutionValue -- which to use?

    Ideally when you have this parent child package configuration, each child package encapsulates a complete business process.  This would include what to do if it fails.  This could entail failing...

  • RE: With Schemabinding

    You seem fixed to the idea that "every view must be schema bound." That's just not true, and probably not even optimal.

    This all started because the original...

  • RE: With Schemabinding

    Correct. My suggestion is to consider the option of removing schemabinding and instead refresh all views / all related views after any table change.

    I'm not sure...

  • RE: With Schemabinding

    Have you considered instead of binding them just running a:
    sp_refreshview
    across all the views when a base table changes?

    You can't change the table if...

  • RE: With Schemabinding

    to be honest it sounds like a lot of hard work for little benefit

    I agree it's an extra step that isn't strictly necessary, at least in my...

  • RE: With Schemabinding

    You're apparently taking a maintenance hit as well.  I don't have a good system of maintaining schemabound chained views as I don't use them.  But as already said, that's not...
