SQLBits X Video Now available
The video of my talk at SQLBits X is now available on the SQLBits website here. The talk was focused on presenting the results of my MSc Business Intelligence dissertation, comparing the performance of different methods of using SSIS to load data warehouse dimensions, specifically type 2 SCDs.
The talk also covers a comparison of the performance between traditional hard disks and solid state storage systems such as Fusion IO.
I then present a method of using the T-SQL Merge statement to automate a significant part of the ETL process.
You can find the code behind the demos on various recent Frog-Blog posts, and there is more to come, so look back soon!
