  • RE: Package Parts – First Impressions

    from elder versions (SQL Server 2003).

    SSIS changed A LOT in the 2005 version.  There is no more activeX script.  I used to be able to do a...

  • RE: Package Parts – First Impressions

    it has few shortcomings

    --from article

    The inability to access package variables renders Package Parts pretty useless, actually

    I think you meant to say, it has a...

  • RE: No PKs on fact tables

    For that reason, it's not really comparing apples to apples because with that same logic, who's to say your constraints ALSO don't get removed between environments too.

    I'm...

  • RE: No PKs on fact tables

    As I said earlier, since, as you say, you like being the black sheep, there's likely no explanation I can give.  I suspect if I could examine your system and...

  • RE: No PKs on fact tables

    Feel free to explain why a simple script as something like SELECT WHERE NOT EXIST or even MERGE would totally fail it's checks and still insert records WHERE IT...

  • RE: No PKs on fact tables

    I can give you a scnerio [sic] where I have no PK. I like being the black sheep.

    I have had large tables where 15+ uniques are needed...

  • RE: Any ideas for solving a data lineage requirement using SQL Server (or other database?)

    Your lineage requirements are more complicated than mine.  I do have some individual columns simple to record the ETL Process ID that updated them as they are critical one time...

  • RE: No PKs on fact tables

    I have also seen this before, unfortunately.  At a previous place I had to deal with an architect who said keys on tables weren't necessary.  No, there is not a...

  • RE: Stored procedure parameters

    It sounds like maybe you fellas selected only one answer?

    I did miss the choose 2.  I knew multiple choice was possible because of the check boxes versus the...

  • RE: Stored procedure parameters

    Will have to think about this more, but my first hunch is that this is just word play.  If you search "Output Parameters" you get a clear answer from a...

  • RE: Whitespace in 3-part name ignored???

    I would never name a column 'authorization'. It would be something like 'AuthorizationDate' or 'AuthorizationCode', etc.

    "Never"? Again, that was the business term they used for...

  • RE: Whitespace in 3-part name ignored???

      If that happens to be a reserved word, so be it. I don't go out of my way to avoid reserved words.

    I never do this. ...

  • RE: SSIS 2016: Parameters vs Variables

    You're welcome.  I've also learned something else you both probably already knew.  I've wondered why there was a required setting with the parameters.  My thinking is "of course it's required,...

  • RE: SSIS 2016: Parameters vs Variables

    I'd be curious to hear more specifics about what issues you ran into. What type of setting were you using those params/variables for? Possibly a connection string?

    Just...

  • RE: Windows Authenticaion vs. Mixed Mode

    I run Windows Authentication wherever I can.  The control in a central location as well as a central enforcement of password rules is a significant benefit.  I also like that...
