ADO.NET Destination in Bulk Insert Mode and Foreign Keys Bulk Insert option for SSIS ADO.NET Destination which is available since SQL Server 2008 R2 improves data load speeds significantly. This option is enabled on the ADO.NET Destination component by selecting the  “Use Bulk Insert when possible” check-box  (Screen capture 1) Screen Capture 1 – ADO.NET Bulk Insert Using the bulk insert mode does come with a catch, especially when the destination table has Foreign Keys. You would notice after the data load, the  WITH CHECK constraint on Foreign Key becomes WITH NOCHECK . Probably this behaviour is because of the ADO.NET Destination component’s implementation of  SqlBulkCopy  which ignores check constraints by default.  The net effect  is that the  ETL would fail to catch data integrity issues which might result in cube processing failures at downstream. Suggested Workarounds: 1. Many ETL frameworks disable foreign keys before data loading to take advantage of parallel da

What is the Aggregate Transformation? The Aggregate transformation is used to perform aggregate operations/functions on groups in a dataset.   The aggregate functions available are- Count, Count Distinct, Sum, Average, Minimum and Maximum.   The Aggregate transformation has one input and one or more outputs .  I t does not support an error outpu t.   When would you use the Aggregate Transformation? As a rough rule, you should use the Aggregate transformation only when the data source cannot efficiently support the Aggregation processes by itself. If you are reading in data from a relational source, usually it will make more sense to have the server aggregate the data in a query before passing it into SSIS. An exception to this may be if you are hitting a live system and cannot afford to (or are not allowed to) load the server with queries. If you were reading from a Flat File source then you would have to use the Aggregate Transformation as the File System doesn’t

Fig 1: The Audit Transformation What is the Audit Transformation? The Audit Transformation is a simple component that simply adds the values of certain System Variables as new columns (that you name) to the data flow. It allows for a single System Variable to be added as many times as you like. An example is below: Same can be Achived using  Derived Column Transformation,   redundant though as adding a new column with the value of a System Variable can just as easily be done within a Derived Column Transformation, Fig 2: Column selection These are the variables that are available: ExecutionInstanceGUID  – The GUID that identifies the execution instance of the package. PackageID  – The unique identifier of the package. PackageName  – The package name. VersionID  – The version of the package. ExecutionStartTime  – The time the package started to run. MachineName  – The computer name. UserName  – The login name of the person who started the package. TaskName  – The name

ODBC (Open Data Base Connectivity)   It is a connection method with data source. It requires to set up a data source, or what is call DSN (Database Source Name) using a SQL Driver or other drivers if connecting to other database types. Most database systems support ODBC. ODBC provides access only to relational databases. OLE DB (Object Linking and Embedding Database)   It is a successor of ODBC. Access to data regardless of its format or location i.e. access the data in uniform manner. OLE DB does not require a DSN. OLE DB provides full access to ODBC data sources and ODBC drivers. In many cases the OLE DB components offer much better performance than the older ODBC. OLE DB provides access to relational and non-relational databases.

XML Source Task in SSIS Suppose we want use a XML file as a data source for further processing on it’s data. Download XML File SSIS XML source is basically used when we want to read the data from XML files. First you will have to create a SSIS Project.  You can refer post ‘ How to Create SSIS Project? ‘ to create this. 1. Now in the project, drag and drop the ‘Data Flow Task’ into control flow tab and double click on it. It will redirect you to  Data Flow Tab. 2. Drag and Drop the ‘XML Source’ from SSIS toolbox and double click on it. Below window will appear- 3. Now browse the xml file and click on ‘Generate XSD’. What is XSD? XSD (XML Schema Definition) is a W3C recommendation that defines the way to utilize the elements in an XML file.It specifies how to formally describe the elements in an Extensible Markup Language (XML) file.XSD can also be used for generating XML documents that can be treated as programming objects. In addition, a variety of XML processin

ADO .NET Source consumes data from SQL Server, OLE DB, ODBC or ORACLE using corresponding .Net Framework data provider. Use a T-SQL statement to define the result set. For Example: Extract data from SQL server with the .Net Framework Data provider for SQL Server. ADO .Net is an extra Layer over OLE DB and ODBC with retro features at a cost of performance. The ADO .NET Source is very similar to the OLE DB source, but adds overhead when extracting data from OLE DB compliant sources so should only be used to access those sources when specifically required, For Example: When they need to be access in code. For non OLE DB compliant sources, such as ODBC, it adds a wide range of connection capabilities and extends the number of sources SSIS can work against. First you will have to create a SSIS Project.  You can refer post ‘ How to Create SSIS Project? ‘ to create this. 1. Now in the project, drag & drop a Data Flow Task in Control Flow Tab. 2. Right click in Connection

ODBC Destination task is used as a data source destination task in SSIS package. ODBC supports bulk upload. So, we can upload data faster now. There are two data loading options available in this task. Batch – It is the most efficient insertion method. It is manged by batch size value. If batch method is not supported by the provide then it chooses Row by Row option automatically. Row-by-Row – This method uses SQL Execute function to insert rows one at a time. Limitation: we cannot create destination table in design mode as we can do with OLE DB or ADO Net. Implementation . I have already create a table for the destination task. Because , we cannot create destination table in design mode as we can do with OLE DB or ADO Net. Step 1: Add ODBC destination task and connect with ODBC source Step 2: Edit ODBC destination task and select data source, table and map columns between source and destination. Mappings We have configured the ODBC destination task. Step 3

ODBC Source in ssis  have just installed the new  ODBC driver 11 for SQL Server  in my machine. In this blog Post, I am going to implement a simple data transfer SSIS package using ODBC Source task. This task is available in SQL Server 2012. It helps us to integrate data from different platform and make simplified connectivity to SQL Azure. Implementation Step 1: Create a package and Add a data flow task Step 2: Go to data flow task designer and add ODBC Source connection ODBC Configuration Edit this task and click new button on the dialog box Build the connection string in the connection manager Create new ODBC data source Select user data source and click next button Select ODBC driver 11 for SQL Server from the drivers list and click next Click finish now We have created the Data source configuration with ODBC 11 driver. Now, we need to connect it with SQL Server. So, next steps are for creating data source connection to SQL Server. Data source connecti

Description  –  Sequence container  group related tasks in a package to show what the complex package is doing in a clear and simple way. The task of Sequence container is to have multiple separate control flows group together in a SSIS package. Each container will contain one or more tasks and will run within the control flow of overall package. Its not at all compulsory that every  package  should use Sequence container but there are some benefits of using this  container . Some of them are described below:- Benefits:- They can be huge helpful when  developing  and  debugging  SSIS packages. If a  package  has many tasks then it is easier to  group the tasks  in Sequence Containers and you can  collapse  and  expand  this container for usability. Instead of setting  property  for each individual task, we  group tasks  together that require similar property settings. Providing  scope for variables  that a group of related tasks and containers use. If  one task fails  to succ
