SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS)

The SQL Server Integration Services (shortly called as SSIS) is a powerful ETL tool, which is used for building enterprise level data transformation, and data integration solutions. SSIS is the second largest tool to perform Extraction, Transformation and Load (ETL) operations.

Microsoft included many built-in tasks and transformations in SQL Server integration Services to solve the complex business problems by building high performance data integration packages. You can use SSIS for updating data warehouses, data mining, downloading or copying files, extract and transfer data from XML to SQL etc.

TIP: You don’t have to be Pro, but try to Learn basic concepts of SQL Server (atleast SELECT Statements).

NOTE: Before you start practicing these example, I suggest you to download Adventure Works, and Adventure works DW databases. Because, these are the two databases that we use in this entire SSIS tutorial. Please refer Install AdventureWorks article to understand the steps involved in downloading, and installing the databases.
