PASS Community Summit 2008: Pre-Conference Seminar

SSIS 2005 and 2008 Boot Camp

Led by Brian Knight
Monday November 17, 2008

Seminar Details

SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) has provided an enterprise platform for ETL for more than 4 years now. Nearly any ETL scenario can be handled by SSIS and this seminar explores many of those scenarios through demo-intensive, interactive mini case studies.

In this day-long session by SSIS expert and author Brian Knight, you will spend the first hour catching up on what you may have been missing with SSIS in SQL Server 2005 and 2008. Then, the seminar rapidly progresses into much more advanced topics like how to load a data warehouse and advanced ways to log errors and handle events. Brian also covers best practices for the enterprise in package configuration, deployment and administration. The content moves quickly through the SSIS concepts and depicts common scenarios that new and experienced SSIS developers run into. You will walk away confident in how to achieve success with SSIS.
