With the release of SQL Server 2005, there have been many changes in the product, but probably none as dramatic as the changes to the ETL tool. Data Transformation Services has become SQL Server Integration Services, or SSIS. It has been completely redesigned with a whole new paradigm for developing data movements. Kathi Kellenberger brings us a short introduction to this new tool.

These are not the DMO bits you are thinking of from SQL Server 2000.

Trying to find the proverbial needle in the haystack of your SQL Server transactions is no small task. SQL Server Profiler not only helps you find that needle, it gives you details on all the other needles in a single interface.
The aggregate functions in SQL Server (min, max, sum, count, average, etc.) are great tools for reporting and business analysis. But sometimes, you need to tweak them just a little bit to get exactly the results you need. For example, if your manager came to you and asked for a report on how many sales have been made to your clients and how large they were, would you know how to get the data you need efficiently? Mark ran into something like this recently and here's the approach he took to solve the problem.
