SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) – An Introduction

Learn the basics of SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) – with Practical Activities. Useful for 70-763 certification.

What you’ll learn

SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) – An Introduction

  • Do Extraction, Transform and Load (ETL) tasks.
  • You can use SQL Server tables, Excel spreadsheets and text files as your source.
  • You’ll be able to change data types, add columns, aggregate, split, sort and join
  • You can then view what has been created, and save it to spreadsheet, database tables, or the clipboard.

Requirements

  • You don’t need to have any prior experience with SQL Server.
  • You don’t even need to have it installed – we’ll install the full Developer edition for free on your Windows machine.
  • It would help if you have had some prior experience with T-SQL, but it is not essential.

Description

Reviews:

Instructor is easy to follow. He gives very clear examples. Course moves quickly enough to be engaging without skipping over material.” — Sarah Hale

This course works for me because it progresses with a level of detail that will be useful as I think through each step necessary to execute my own integration packages. There are several courses to choose from and I’m glad I chose this one.” — David McNickle

Very good introductory course. Didn’t really know what SSIS was until recently. Working through the course opened my eyes to past projects that would have benefited from an SSIS ETL package or two.” — Stephen Benton

Welcome to this course about SQL Server Integration Services.

In this course, you’ll be downloading and installing the latest 2016 SQL Server Developer – a full version for free so that you can use it on your machine. And previous versions of SQL Server Developer have previously retailed for around $100, and now it’s free.

So what is SSIS? It’s a way to automate in the importing and exporting and data – or ETL: extract, transform, and load. It’s a very visual part of SSIS, using tasks, components, and flowcharts, so it’s easy to learn the basics of it.

We’ll start by extracting some data, and then loading it into another table. I’ll take nice as slow as we start to introduce transformations, such as aggregation, a conditional split, merging, and auditing. There’ll be plenty of practice activities too, so you can get to practice your new-found skills. And if you are doing Microsoft certificates, it can help towards your 70-463 certification as well.

By the end of this course, you’ll be confident in using the main Data Flow components and Control Flow tasks, and would be able to use it in your own work.
