and much more!
One of the most confusing/different things in SSIS is how you deploy a package. It was easy in SQL Server 2000's Enterprise Manager: You just went to File-->Save and you saved the package in either SQL Server or as a .dts file. ahhhhh, don't we pine for the simple approach?Today you have a phalanx of options: you can save your packages as a .dtsx file individually, (2) you can save your packages as a .dtsx package as part of a project/solution, (3) you can save your packages in the SSIS Package Store (What? What's that?), or (4) you can store your packages inside the SQL Server in the msdb database.What's the difference? Which one should you choose? That's what this series is all about!
