Each chapter begins with a review of pertinent ETL concepts and moves into working those out into a design with multiple examples and related Integration Services features with the end goal of putting it all together to get a solution. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Good example and materialBook is well written and considered the real world issue and work. I am giving 4 star because it could be better by including more real world example and other features of SSIS. But its good reference if you have basic knowledge and want to build complex solution. Rating: - Forged from developing production ETL systemsThis book was written a year or so after SSIS 2005 was released. It has some good best practice information forged from developing production ETL systems with SSIS. Some of the books released at the time of the product release lacked that perspective.

I researched this book in advance, and might have bought the companion Professional SQL Server 2005 Integration ...

It is advanced, and not meant to be your primary resource or used for learning SSIS. Rating:  - Don't try the samplesThere are lots of 5-star books with great content, but with poor samples. Unfortunately, this is one of those books. Did anybody try the samples of Chapter 3? The sample of Figure 3-26 returns many records back (not empty as shown in the book), maybe because there is millisecond in the modified date field; the sample of Figure 3-27 does not work at all, because SSIS complains the value of timestamp field can not be assigned to that variable; the sample of figure 3-32 has no required ...
