SSIS 2012/14: Data Flows and Components
with expert Don Kiely
The Data Flow task is a special Control Flow task that moves data from a data source to a data destination, optionally transforming the data in various ways as it moves. It is so important and complex that, unlike any other Control Flow task, the Data Flow task has its own designer in SQL Server Data Tools. This is where you are likely to spend most of your time when developing any non-trivial Integration Services package that moves data rather than just performs other Control Flow tasks. The Data Flow task is the single most important task in a Control Flow and performs the majority of the work in an ETL (Extract, Transform, and Load) process. During this Live Learning event, you'll learn about data flow pipelines, how to get data from a source, transform it along the way, and store it in various data store destinations.
