 Book not thoroughly reviewed!May 07, 2008

I agree witht the previous readers that the book was hastely done without any thought for quality! A lot of examples from the book differ drastically with the examples in the cd.(and even with the electronic copy of the book that came w/ the cd!)
I tried to salvage the situation by visiting MS Press for some errata announcements, but i was even more confused in the web-maze that they hyperlinked me to.... to no avail (surprise, surprise!)
If you have a limited budget on reference books... dont buy this one.

 It was not that bad at allOct 11, 2007
By Akash Aggarwal
if you are a first time visitor to SSIS, I think its a good book. It could definitely have been better but if you need to really practice on real life scenarious, it covers them well. There might be some instructions here and there which do not exactly mirror to the latest version and not sure if those were typos vs beta version but since the SSIS interface is so intuitive it's not as bad and this book really gets you upto speed in very short time.
If you are a totally new to the SSIS world, I would recommend it.

Review of Step By StepDec 28, 2007
By K. Lee
I found this book to be quite informative. Given that I am a first timer to SSIS, there were some useful examples. There could have been more substance around the Datawarehousing part of the book. The examples provided on the CD were shockingly packaged. There were files missing and incorrect CD's. This is disappointing given that I bought this book because it was a Microsoft Press publishing.

 A great SQL Server Integration Services book for beginnersOct 23, 2007
By Yue Jiang
"johnyue"
I have a project to create a data warehouse, ETL the data and report from the new data warehouse. I have no SQL server 2005 experience at all. But after I read this book and follow the book step by step. I was able to create my DW ETL data to corresponding DIM and Fact tables and created my reports from my DW correctly without any problem. This book has very clear concepts and very practical steps. If you like to learn-by-doing on SSIS. This is the book does it all.

Poorly ReviewedJul 09, 2009
By S. Reich
This book and CD are full of mistakes. It makes some of the excercises seem worthless without tweaking. The book also gives many step by step labs that do not explain why you are doing what you are doing. Initial lessons before the labs are fair at best.
