    Are you doing Data Warehouse ETL with SSIS? Don't use the slow SCD Wizard, use the Kimball Method SCD component instead.

    Use the Import/Export Wizard to get your package started, then edit it in BIDS.

    You won't necessarily have 1000 Data Flows, but you probably should. (You can put more than...

  • RE: Execute SQL script from file in for each loop - SSIS package

  • RE: SSIS Variables

    Yes, you can do this through the "back door" of property expressions. In this case (inside the Data Flow) it isn't particularly pretty, but it works.

  • RE: Easiest way to change all user name/passwords in multiple SSIS and DTS packages?

    Do a simple text search on the DTSXs. There really is no other way for the SSIS packages. DTS and other objects, dunno.
