Overview of this book

SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) is a leading tool in the data warehouse industry - used for performing extraction, transformation, and load operations. This book is aligned with the most common methodology associated with SSIS known as Extract Transform and Load (ETL); ETL is responsible for the extraction of data from several sources, their cleansing, customization, and loading into a central repository normally called Data Warehouse or Data Mart.Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Integration Services: An Expert Cookbook covers all the aspects of SSIS 2012 with lots of real-world scenarios to help readers understand usages of SSIS in every environment. Written by two SQL Server MVPs who have in-depth knowledge of SSIS having worked with it for many years.This book starts by creating simple data transfer packages with wizards and illustrates how to create more complex data transfer packages, troubleshoot packages, make robust SSIS packages, and how to boost the performance of data consolidation with SSIS. It then covers data flow transformations and advanced transformations for data cleansing, fuzzy and term extraction in detail. The book then dives deep into making a dynamic package with the help of expressions and variables, and performance tuning and consideration.

Importing XML data with XML Source


XML is a global and platform-independent method to transfer data as we mentioned earlier. In the previous chapter, we used Web Service Task to fetch results of a web method into an XML file; also we tried to change the style of the XML data with XML Task. One of the most useful scenarios with XML data is to import the data into a database. We can do this with the help of XML Source.

XML Source provides a way to read data from the xml file based on the XSD schema file. XML Source can read simple flattened xml data or more complex data with hierarchical structure. In this recipe, we will import books.xml data into SQL Server database table.

Getting ready
