I'm getting very excited about PASS in November. I started to work on my pre-conference session ETL and SSIS BootCamp and got especially jazzed this week. We got permission to use some pretty amazing data to really show some real-world scalability tricks and data warehousing tricks using NFL statistics data. I hope to see you there!
If you haven't registered for PASS, it's the main conference for BI and SQL Server professionals that I would go to each year. I'll be doing a number of sessions with my Pragmatic Works cohorts and a pre-conference with Patrick LeBlanc as a guest speaker. If you haven't seen Patrick speak before, you'll surely be entertained.
Pre-Conference information can be found here: http://sqlpass.eventpoint.com/topic/details/BIA225P
SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) has provided an enterprise platform for ETL for more than 5 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, parallelism in SSIS, and hidden switches for performance for speed 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.
