COMPONENTS OF SSIS PACKAGE

• OLE DB : It is a connection manger which is used to retrieve the data from and extract the data into the database
• Data Flow: It is a task containing the components required to extract, transform or load the data of a product. Basically, it contains to components used to perform ETL operation on the data
• OLE DB source: It is used to retrieve the data from the product table in the database. Here the source uses the OLE DB connection manager to connect to the database
• Data Conversion: It is used for Transformation that converts two columns in the data flow
FURTHERMORE:
• Derived column: It is used for Transformation that creates a separate column from the concatenated data from the columns in the data flow
SSIS Certification Training Course
• OLE DB Destination: Used to insert data into the table. The destination also uses the OLE DB connection manager to connect to the database
