5.0 out of 5 stars Best book on the subject, August 6, 2009

He does an excellent job of discussing the practical applications of SSIS and getting into the deeper uses. As someone who used DTS heavily, I figured out SSIS as I went along but this book unlocked all that it could do for me.

I read a few other books on SSIS but they didn't take me anywhere I couldn't get on my own. This book doesn't just explain what, but why. Reading this book is like working with an SSIS mentor who will point out all of the little issues that are liable to arise in real-world situations. Invaluable.

This review is from: Pro SQL Server 2005 Integration Services (Paperback)

I've read several books on SSIS and this is by far the best yet. Explains it at a more advanced and PRACTICAL level than the others while still being easy to follow. Higly recommended. Source code is available at apress.com.

Not sure why even one reviewer can rate this bad, this author is awesome. He is very encouraging, he had me drawn by his enthusiasm and love for SSIS. I am still making my way through the book, but wow, I am truly impressed, not only with the way the author elucidates the info, but by the power of SSIS.

Microsoft rocks......
