Shockingly, it appears it’s not just me on the Internet blogging about Microsoft
BI
I’ve added a couple of new links to by Relevant blogs. First up is
Boyan Penev’s blog- a good blog that I’ve been referencing in my recent excursions into MDX. He’s also just joined the consultancy that I work for, which is a happy coincidence.
Next is
Duane Douglas’s SSISBI.com- particularly for his posts on programmatically building SSIS packages which is a 12 part series starting
here. It is comparatively easy to build*packages from code.*One of the extensions of*my
ETL Framework project*that I’m very keen on doing is getting a utility built that generates packages that conform to the framework, rather than using templates which are easier to break. Hence my current fervent studies in C# which will no doubt please Todd McDermid.
On the subject of
Todd, he recently presented at a
SQL Sa****ay, and put up a*few presentations which I think were pretty on the nose about*their subjects. First of those was a
Business Intelligence and Data Warehouse Primer – which for newcomers to DW/
BI laid out the landscape nicely. The second was on the options available for
Dimension Processing in SSIS. Finally there was one on the guts of SSIS which is in the same territory as my own ABC of
ETL with SSIS. Follow*
this link*to get to the post with the*presentations.
