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.

Working with Data Flow components programmatically


In this recipe, we will see how to deal with Data Flow components, create source component, destination component, initialize them, assigning connection managers to components, and map input and output columns.

Getting ready

We need an empty copy of the HumanResources.Department table in the PacktPub_SSISbook database, so simply just run the following statement:

USE [PacktPub_SSISbook]
GO

CREATE SCHEMA [HumanResources]
GO


CREATE TABLE [HumanResources].[Department](
	[DepartmentID] [smallint] NOT NULL,
	[Name] [nvarchar](50) NOT NULL,
	[GroupName] [nvarchar](50) NOT NULL,
	[ModifiedDate] [datetime] NOT NULL
) ON [PRIMARY]

How to do it...

  1. Create a C# Console Application and name it as R02_Working with Data Flow Components Programmatically.

  2. In the Solution Explorer, right-click on the References folder, and from the Add Reference window under the .NET tab add the following references:

    • Microsoft.SqlServer.ManagedDTS

    • Microsoft.SqlServer.DTSPipelineWrap...
