In less than a week, I'll be presenting DBI329 - Upgrading Packages to SQL Server 2012 at TechEd North America 2012 (which is sold out by the way!). I have my session and demos prepared, but I am very interested in hearing from developers and DBA who have already migrated to SSIS 2012 what their … Continue reading Request for Comment: Upgrading Packages to SSIS 2012
A frequently seen question related to editing SSIS packages for 2012 is related to the SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT). SSDT is the successor to the former BIDS and to the former VSDB. However, even though Microsoft likes to think of SSDT as a single product rolling up the functionality of BIDS and VSDB, there … Continue reading When SSDT is not SSDT
In a previous post, I wrote about using SSIS 2008 custom components in SSIS 2012. In that post, I noted that the custom component's UI (Edit, Advanced Edit) does not work in SSDT. It turns out there is a way to get some UI for some components to work though. The key is that the component's … Continue reading Editing SSIS 2008 Custom Component Properties in SSDT
Update: 2012-05-07: Apparently, this method does work for SSIS 2005 tasks. However, these extensions should not use the native interfaces. Thanks to Matt Masson for the correction. For the next few weeks, the topic of upgrading SSIS 2008 packages to SSIS 2012 will be keeping me very busy. I am preparing to speak on the topic three times … Continue reading Using SSIS 2008 Components in SQL Server Data Tools with SSIS 2012

It appears, after all, that Microsoft doesn't believe the FileTable security bug I described in a previous post (here) is By Design. The bug on Connect was Resolved as By Design a few weeks ago, but I didn't agree. So the upshot is that it will be fixed in a forthcoming update (presumably this means … Continue reading Update on FileTable Security Bug
Semantic Search is a powerful new addition to SQL Server 2012. Semantic Search builds upon the full-text index feature and adds the ability for SQL Server to determine key words in documents. Uses can include analysis of text to determine similarity between two documents, extract key words from documents, or find documents that contain key … Continue reading Step-by-Step: Enabling Semantic Search on SQL Server 2012
So this blog post has a long title, apologies for that. This is an important FileTable issue that you must be aware of before implementing this feature. Now that SQL Server 2012 is officially released, people are looking to deploy it and take advantage of the many new and improved features. While HADRON is the … Continue reading SQL Server FileTable: Cannot prevent users with read-only access to the FileTable from modifying file contents using non-transactional access
