Useless If you're Really Trying to Develop SSIS Integrations,
By
This review is from: Hands-On Microsoft SQL Server™ 2005 Integration Services (Paperback)
Bought this book because it looked like it covered all the topics I needed to finish a project I was working on, but so far have yet to actually find an answer to a single question. This is one of those books that seem to plague the technical genre: it "alludes" to a particular topic, but never actually goes in-depth on anything.
Simply listing all the options available on a screen, while taking up lots of pages and creating an entry in the table of contents, doesn't make for a useful book. The examples provided were so superficial, I've got to wonder whether the author has actually done anything more than played with the software. This one goes on the bookshelf with all the other "never to be picked up again" books. Too bad they're only of value to the paper recyclers.

Hands On Throughout the Entire Book,
This review is from: Hands-On Microsoft SQL Server™ 2005 Integration Services (Paperback)
The title for this book is true, it is Hands-On. Some books just rehash the SQL Books Online but this one provides tons of hands on excercises. Here are just a few.
Importing a Flat File into SQL Server 2005 Using System Variables to Create Custom Logs Using Expressions to Update Properties at Run-time Contacting Opportunities (Includes steps necessary for enabling SMTP from a package) Removing Duplicate Email Addresses Consolidating Workflow Packages Reading the Application Log Managing Storage of Integration Services Package Using dtutil Running an SSIS Package Using the Package Execution Utility Understanding Package Protection Levels Beyond the Hands On Exercises the book also is based around a database other than the standard Northwind, pubs or AdventureWorks databases for a little variety. Finally the book covers deployment of your Integration Services Packages and also how to migrate from SQL Server 2000 Data Transformation Services.

Good starter book,
By
This review is from: Hands-On Microsoft SQL Server™ 2005 Integration Services (Paperback)
This book helped me get started with SSIS...figure out some basic stuff. But it left me hanging on the details, best practices, integration with applications, etc. It basically walks you through building a bunch of thin-functionality examples of the various components.
If the book re-described itself as a getting-started book, I'd give it high praise and more stars...but the phrases "in depth", "learn to maximize", "extensive", etc, should have been omitted from the book description.
