LEARNING SSIS
RESOURCES, COURSES, TRAINING AND CHEAT SHEET
1 Introduction
This document intended for learning about SSIS. Learning resources, link to document and also cheatsheet for project based on SSIS.
I don’t know where I should obtain about courses and training, maybe I need to create it myself for further use.
2 Installation
I did the installation earlier but I forgot the step. With Visual Studio 2019 installation wizard you can get SSIS. I think it also need to install some tools.
3 Learning process and resources
You need to do a lot of reading to understand this tools, and also a lot of practice. But first we need to read the documentation for microsoft web site.
I found tutorial for SSIS in microsoft websites
also on other website, this one contain so many tutorial check them out
https://www.tutorialgateway.org/ssis/
I think its better to learn from microsoft websites because its cover every basic thing, except handling error.
first try (SSIS, flat file, postgreSQL )
I did the tutorial first with flat file and postgreSQL it turn out that even if we can connect to postgre using ODBC the driver can’t detect meta data information from database. After that I try using sql rather than auto detect the table from database. It works. We can connect and get data from ODBC with sql command.
After that we move to using lookup data. I try to connect look up to postgre but it turnout only OLEDB connection being provide by SSIS so I guess we can’t use ODBC. There is using cache connection but I don’t know how to use it. So I give up there. Also there is option using free trial plugin from devart to make everything works. Since it’s not open source or free I gave up again.
This happened when I try to use ODBC and load table using preview
but it’s different with ODBC destination tools, because ODBC destinantion tools didn’t have sql field to get data for mapping purpose.
I have look it up on google and also stack overflow. It have answer but I did not know how to implement it. Here is the link

For the next trial and error I will use SQL SERVER Express that free from microsoft.
