  1. Networking While On Vacation

    There's been a lot of attention given to professional networking (e.g. Andy Warren's blog posts) recently and if you recall I'm planning on kicking off my PASS Summit experience this year by attending Don Gabor's pre-conference session on starting conversations. It's perfectly reasonable to ...

  2. Using DtsMappingSurfaceControl in your Custom SSIS Component

    As one of the "wishes" I'd had when creating my custom Kimball Method SCD component for SSIS, I'd wanted to give myself the same kind of column mapping interface that Microsoft had given other components - like the Merge Join or the OLE DB Destination components. It's a relatively elegant ...

  3. Converting Your Script Task Into a Custom Task, Part I - Why?

  4. The Post-Build Command Line for SSIS Custom Objects (Updated)

    (Refer to my previous post on this topic.)I was recently troubleshooting a custom object I'd constructed from my template - and (maddeningly) it didn't work! Of course, trying to spot the undeniably simple problem in the wee hours isn't always productive... but it does sometimes help get some productive supporting ...

  5. File Properties Task for SSIS

    This seems like such an essential tool for Integration Services...What Is It For?If you've ever needed to know if a specific file exists, whether you'll be able to open it to read or write to it, or what some of the date or file attribute properties of it are, you ...

  7. Training Benefits

    Everyone needs training. It does not matter what your level of experience. Everyone has room for improvement.

  9. No Join Predicate

    You could be looking at an execution plan on a query and see this message: Warning, No Join Predicate. With a very few exceptions (very few), that’s not a warning, like “Mind the gap” or “Your Mileage May Vary” or “Never fight a land war in Asia.” No. It ...
