5 out of 5 stars A great SQL Server Integration Services book for beginners   October 23, 2007
Yue Jiang
4 out of 5 found this review helpful

I have a project to create a data warehouse, ETL the data and report from the new data warehouse. I have no SQL server 2005 experience at all. But after I read this book and follow the book step by step. I was able to create my DW ETL data to corresponding DIM and Fact tables and created my reports from my DW correctly without any problem. This book has very clear concepts and very practical steps. If you like to learn-by-doing on SSIS. This is the book does it all.


5 out of 5 stars Exactly what you need if you're new to SSIS   August 1, 2008

If you're new to SSIS, this book is great. It covers the fundamentals in an easy, step-by-step way.

It is true that there are quite a few errors in the book. Before diving in you should visit the errata list on the website, but that should be the habit whenever working through a technical learning book. The exercises on the accompanying CD had quite a few problems, but nothing that couldn't be worked through.

As a surprise bonus, Chapter 12, "Data Warehouse Concepts", was an excellent introduction to the topic and it made me understand things I haven't been able to grasp before.

Altogether, a very satisfying book.



4 out of 5 stars It was not that bad at all   October 11, 2007

5 out of 6 found this review helpful

if you are a first time visitor to SSIS, I think its a good book. It could definitely have been better but if you need to really practice on real life scenarious, it covers them well. There might be some instructions here and there which do not exactly mirror to the latest version and not sure if those were typos vs beta version but since the SSIS interface is so intuitive it's not as bad and this book really gets you upto speed in very short time.
If you are a totally new to the SSIS world, I would recommend it.



4 out of 5 stars Review of Step By Step   December 28, 2007

4 out of 5 found this review helpful

I found this book to be quite informative. Given that I am a first timer to SSIS, there were some useful examples. There could have been more substance around the Datawarehousing part of the book. The examples provided on the CD were shockingly packaged. There were files missing and incorrect CD's. This is disappointing given that I bought this book because it was a Microsoft Press publishing.


2 out of 5 stars Very bad companion CD-ROM   December 14, 2008

The book is fine but the quality of the companion CD-ROM is terrible: Missing files; contents of the CD does not match with description from the book...

If you plan to try to go through the samples in the book/CD-ROM then forget about it. It's very confusion and wasting your time.

It's a bad book that Microsoft to put its name behind it.
