Design patterns for SSIS PerformanceSQLBits 2010
Do you wonder about SSIS performance? Well I do, and I've compiled my research into this session. We'll cover various design patterns for solving common problems like inserts vs. updates, is it faster to use a lookup, or can you just catch the errors and process them afterwards? As well as the richer patterns we'll look at some straight comparisons between two components that can be used to do perform the same task and ask which one is quicker?
SSIS FieldnotesSQLBits 2010
After years of careful observation and recording of the Species SSIS, Genus ETL, in both natural and artificial environments, I’ve gathered a large collection of fieldnotes. Find out the little decisions that get made that can have big impacts on you project later on. What option to choose for better performance, or better management, and what are the trade-offs? This session won’t just focus on holy grail of performance, it will review the way you build and use SSIS taking into account the on going maintenance and management aspects as well.
