Sql Server Integration Services (SSIS) is a comprehensive ETL tool that made its debut with SQL Server 2005. It is a tool tightly integrated with the Visual Studio 2005 having all the functionalities that its forerunner DTS (Data Transformation Services) had in SQL Server 2000. This does not mean that it is just an improvement over DTS but a product which is totally different with a vastly improved interface; an extensible architecture; an enlarged tool set; ease of integration with other SQL Server Tools such as Analysis Services; capable of supporting connectivity with third party databases and bringing into a central location many database management tasks.
The Beginners Guide to SQL Server Integration Services Using Visual Studio 2005 provides you with the basic knowledge that you should have before you move on to more advanced ETL [Extraction, Transformation, and Loading]. The book will also provide you with a comprehensive description of the many designer windows that you may encounter while working with the designer.
This guide provides you with the blocks to build a complete package. It describes each block using examples as well as detailing the nuts and bolts that hold the blocks in place. The majority of SSIS tasks are covered in this book, which are described in full in the summary of Table of Contents. You will start building packages right from Chapter 2 and continue on to Chapter 20 gathering and building upon your knowledge in each step.

In Chapter 2, you will learn how to create your first business intelligence project for SSIS using the Visual Studio 2005 IDE. You will be introduced to the many windows that are used by SSIS specifically and a few other windows of the VS 2005 IDE used for projects and solutions. The hands-on at the end of the chapter helps you to examine on your own the key features of the IDE as well as how you may retrieve a VS 2005 created package using the SQL Server 2005 Management Studio.
In Chapter 3 you will learn how to send a mail by creating the Send Mail Task using the SMTP server that you can access. If you are not sure about your SMTP Server you may find that Hands-on Exercise 2 give you a better understanding of how to access the SMTP server.
In Chapter 4 you will learn how to create a SSIS package that transfers a table on your SQL Server 2005 to a flat file on your C: drive. You will also learn how to work with the Connection Managers that is so essential for data transformation tasks,
In Chapter 5 you will learn how to create a SSIS package that transfers a table on your SQL Server 2005 database to an Excel spread sheet. You will also learn how to connect to an Excel data destination.
In Chapter 6 you will create a package that transfers data from a table on your SQL Server 2005 to an MS Access Database. You will learn how to work with the Data Viewer that monitors the data flow.

In Chapter 8 you will create a package that conditionally splits the data from a SQL Server 2005 query and send them to multiple destinations. You will also learn to work with Recordset Destination, an in-memory ADO Recordset Object and use it to display the results of data splitting. Additionally you will learn about using Variables in an SSIS Package.
In Chapter 9 you will create a package that can aggregate data from a database using the Aggregate data Transformation. You will extract data from a SQL Server 2005 and load it in to a Recordset Object to review the aggregated results.
In Chapter 10 you will create a package that converts the data extracted from an Excel spread sheet source before loading it into a MS Access Database. You will also learn how to direct the data that is not accepted by the destination to another destination using the errors in data transformation.

Beginners Guide to SQL Server Integration Services Using Visual Studio 2005 provides you with the basic knowledge that you should have before you move on to more advanced ETL (Extraction, Transformation, and Loading). In each chapter you will get a little background of the SSIS task that you are going to create. You will then step through the numbered steps, creating, configuring, executing, and reviewing the results. The book has minimal coding (only two chapters) and exclusively uses the Visual Studio 2005 Designer.
This book is written for beginners in the developer track who are looking to get an exposure to SQL Server Integration Services; DBA's who are testing water with the Visual Studio IDE but without a wide programming experience; SQL 2000 Data Transformation Services users who are trying to move into SQL Server 2005 Integration Services; Microsoft programming professionals in Small Businesses who wear multiple hats (jack of all) - developer, programmer, and dba with a little bit of experience in each of these.
It is expected that you know how to manipulate window objects, like clicking; dragging and dropping; using contextual help, tabbing, etc. It is also expected that you are exposed to SQL Server database basics and that you understand connecting to a database server; querying the database; reviewing objects; displaying and reviewing properties of objects, etc. Very little coding skill is assumed except that you can logically follow a fully commented code.
