Very bad companion CD-ROMDecember 14, 2008 Quang Phan(California, USA) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
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.
Exactly what you need if you're new to SSISAugust 1, 2008 Steven Kerrick(Santa Ana, CA USA) 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
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.
Review of Step By StepDecember 28, 2007 K. Lee(Melbourne, Australia) 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.
