In this video, we bang our heads against the wall repeatedly with respect to SQL Server Integration Services. I spend a lot more time than I want to but we do get a mostly-functional product mostly working.
This was a frustrating video to make, but I think it was important to make it clear just what SSIS on Linux can and cannot do.
Comments closedMeagan Longoria solves a head-scratcher:
A couple of weeks ago, I encountered a DAX question that I had not previously considered. They had a situation where there were two paths between two tables: on direct between a fact and dimension and another that went through a different dimension and a bridge table.
Click through for several examples of when this might come up, as well as how to solve the problem.

I’ve been doing a lot of work on all of my free SQL Server troubleshooting stored procedures lately.
If you haven’t used them, or haven’t even heard of them, now’s a good time to talk about what they are, what they do, and some of the newer features and functionality.
Read on to see what’s new. If you haven’t used any of Erik’s procedures, I highly recommend them.

A point of sale system being rolled out across hundreds of physical locations. Transaction data collected each night to be batch processed into a warehouse for usual types of analysis. Our integration preference was SSIS internally. A solution was deployed in preparation.
Rolling out of the new system started with a handful of locations which steadily increased as confidence grew. On the back of this the data hitting our solution was increasing too. With a trickle of data early on there were no issues as expected. A small volume of data from a small number of stores. The process flew. We left it doing it’s thing.
Read on to see the story take a darker turn and the importance of planning for scale.
Comments closedThis is the 8th year now that we’ve been running our annual Data Professional Salary Survey, and I was really curious to see what the results would hold this year. How would inflation and layoffs impact the database world? Download the raw data here and slice & dice it to see what’s important to you. Here’s what I found.
Read on for the results and Brent’s analysis.
