I am honored to present Faster SSIS at SQL Saturday Boston 22 Sep 2018!

Check out this schedule – there are a bunch of smart people presenting – plus me!

Abstract

Ever wonder why SSIS runs so slow? Watch SSIS author Andy Leonard as he runs test loads using sample and real-world data and shows you how to tune SQL Server 2017 Integration Services (SSIS 2017) packages.

We’ll start by experimenting with SSIS design patterns to improve performance loading AdventureWorks data. We will implement different change detection patterns and compare execution performance for each. Then, we’ll explain a Data Flow Task’s bottleneck when loading binary large objects – or Blobs.

Finally, we’ll demonstrate a design pattern that uses a Script Component in a Data Flow to boost load performance to MySql, whether on-premises or in the cloud.
Prerequisites: None. Some SSIS and SQL knowledge will be helpful but is not required.

I hope to see you there! I’d love to meet you if you read this blog and attend – just walk up and introduce yourself, I’m the southern guy with the braided beard.
