Our last step is to delete the rows at the destination that have been previously deleted at the source. That's it - once you have this part complete, then you can write a job to run your SSIS package and schedule it to run as often as you like!

Pt. 1 - What Is Test driven Development (TDD)? What are Unit Tests? How Can I Use Them? - view details
So many 'modern day' programmers do things completely backwards - they write the application code first and then, when things inevitably fail, they find themselves refactoring, rethinking, and just plain frustrated. Why, oh why, haven't more programmers learned the beauty of unit testing and test driven development (TDD)? If more programmers modernized their approaches to thinking about programming, they would find that they would save huge blocks of time and, in the process of saving time, write more efficient code.

Highlights from this video:
  • What is Test Driven Development (TDD)?
  • What are some of the core principles of TDD?
  • What are units? What are tests?
  • Why should I consider unit tests?

New SQL Server Integration Services Video Tutorial: Options Available for Performing Incremental Updates/Deltas with SSIS

Options Available for Performing Incremental Updates/Deltas with SSIS - view details
One very common data movement scenario within SSIS is having a source table that you need to keep in sync with a destination table. For example: you have a table in your mainframe database that is just huge - 200 million rows. Your company does not expose the mainframe database to the web; instead they've built a complex data movement package that copies the data out of the mainframe and into a SQL Server database that the website uses. Previously, they were able to delete the old rows and simply replace the SQL Server data with the mainframe data - but, with 200 million rows to copy over, this has become impossible. How can you help?

You have a few options - and this videos helps you learn what those options are and when to use each!

This video, part two in our series on how to do incremental changes in SSIS, talks about how to insert only the new rows added to the source.

Highlights from this video:
  • Writing JOINs and Queries that help identify the new rows (i.e., rows that exist at the source but not at the destination)
  • Using design patterns to simplify query writing
  • Creating an SSIS package to append rows to the target table
and much more

Highlights from this video:
  • Using the Data Flow task and the OLE-DB Command transformation to update only the changed values
  • Parameter and query syntax and ordering in the OLEDB Command Task
  • Various techniques for identifying which rows at the source have changed
and much more

One very common data movement scenario within SSIS is having a source table that you need to keep in sync with a destination table. This video, part 1, talks about the options available to you if you need to append rows from a source table to a target table, update only the changed rows with SSIS, or to delete rows at the destination that have also been deleted at the source.

Highlights from this video:
  • How to know when to use Set-Based incremental deltas or cursor-style (a decision tree)
  • Using the four part object identification to make addressing objects simpler
and much more
