Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Integration Services: An Expert Cookbook

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.

Transferring SQL server objects: DBMS Tasks


Transferring SQL database objects and data between databases is often needed in the real-world. For example, some scenarios could be the creation of the database environment along with multiple environments such as development, testing, and production; and for example, to create temporary tables to assist the ETL process.

This recipe demonstrates how we can simply transfer all database objects and data between the Adventure Works case sample and a new and empty database created for this recipe.

Getting ready

To get ready for this recipe, use the following steps:

  1. Open SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) and connect to SQL Server.

  2. Create a temporary and empty database to which to transfer SQL objects from AdventureWorksLT2012 database.

  3. Under Database Folder, press New Database....

  4. Provide a name for the new database (AdventureWorksLT2012_DEV) and keep the remaining properties as default.

  5. Open SQL Server Business Intelligence Development Studio (BIDS) and...
