This video is part of the following video series: "Script Component as a Source, Transformation and Destination"
The Script Component feature of SSIS is perhaps the most flexible of all the tasks/transformations in SSIS. Drag a Data Flow task onto your SSIS Designer surface and then add a Script Component to your Data Flow container. Notice how it can be either a Source, Destination or Transformation? It is clearly very flexible!

But, with all that flexibility comes a price: complexity. Newbies have a particularly tough time understanding when to use the Script Component or another task. Even old-timers (that's folks with lots of DTS experience) often struggle trying to figure out the best approach to solving a problem with the Script Component!

This video series, recorded by our resident SSIS trainer Scott Whigham, is a six part series that covers topics like:
  • When should I use the Script Component?
  • How do I use the Script Component as a Data Source?
  • How do I use the Script component in a transformation?
  • Using the Script Component as a destination
and much more
