SQL Session – Execution Extract, Transform, and Load your Data Warehouse

If you're not already a member of the Charlotte SQL Server User Group, go now and sign up. This group is a great resource of knowledge and connections to the SQL Server community in Charlotte, NC. Their plan is to get together once a month and discuss a new and interesting topic on SQL Server.

One data warehouse buzzword that often gets used is "ETL", also known as extract, transform, and load. But what does this really mean from a data warehousing perspective and how do we use SQL Server Integration Services to perform these ETL functions? This session will answer these questions and show solutions to common ETL problems.
