In this article we look at how to use a Power Query source when building a SQL Server Integration Services package.

In this article we look at how to use a Power Query Source to load data in to SQL Server using SQL Server Integration Services.

In this article we look at an approach to compare two different sets of data that should be the same to determine where there are potential mismatches of data.

In this tip we look at an SSIS package that allows for automating swapping of destinations based on external controls.

In this tip we look at a way to control and delay ETL tasks within an SSIS package based on some external process.

In this tip we look at why and how to use SQL Server Integration Services raw file sources and raw file destinations.

In this tip we look at how to import text files and CSV files into SQL Server using SSIS and the Script Task.

In this tip we look at a way to stop the execution of a SSIS data flow task that is running by executing an outside process to stop the data flow immediately.

In this tip we look at a process to load data in parallel using an SSIS package that loads data in an optimized way.

In this tip we look at how to pass values from a parent package to a child package when using SSIS.

In this tip we look at how we can use SSIS to transfer custom error messages and custom stored procedures to other SQL Server instances.

In this tip we look at how to use the CDC tasks in an SSIS package for incremental data loading.

In this tip we look at how to zip and unzip files from a SQL Server Integration Services package.

In this tip we look at different ways to build SSIS expressions to handle things like email addresses, random values, vile names, rounding, OR and XOR logic and more.

Learn how to export data from an SSIS package to create an Excel file and automatically refresh any pivot tables in the spreadsheet.

In this tip we cover creating SSIS expressions and show several ways that expressions can be used and built in your SSIS packages.

In this tip we look at how you can use SSIS to build a package to add a primary key to an existing table that does not already have a primary key.

In this tip we will use the free tool PSFTP (from the PuTTy software family) in combination with SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) to download a file from an SFTP server.

This is the final part of a series of tips on implementing a slowly changing dimension type 2 in SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS). In this final part we will introduce a solution for dealing with intra-day changes.

In the previous tips of this series we looked at how to implement a type 2 slowly changing dimension in SSIS. In this tip we look at how we can further optimize the process.

In this tip we look at the differences of the Fuzzy Transformation and Fuzzy Grouping in SQL Server Integration Services.
