Copy data from SQL Server to sales-data


All the steps we took in the previous section were preparing the copy activity we're going to do in this section.

We'll now add a new pipeline to our factory. We could work from the one we created to hold our Execute SSIS package activity, but since we want to test and debug the new code, it's easier to use another pipeline. If we don't do it, we would have to execute all the pipeline every time we want to test a single activity. Once we are satisfied with our work, we will copy/paste it back into the main pipeline.
