Overview

Delegates attending this course will have requirements to implement SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) to export and import data between mixed data sources, catering for simple exchanges and more complex requirements involving transformation of data before it reaches its destination (such as in the cases of loading a Data Warehouse). The course covers all versions of SSIS from SQL Server 2012 to SQL Server 2017. It helps to prepare delegates for the Microsoft 70-463 exam: Implementing a Data Warehouse with Microsoft SQL Server 2012/2014. The course is suitable for delegates working with all versions of SQL Server from SQL Server 2008 through to SQL Server 2016.
