The use of raw files as SSIS data source is highly recommended for huge volume of data due to its superior read/write performance. Raw files store data in a very basic format that requires almost zero translation and parsing. This enables faster data reads/writes when compared to Flat Files and even faster than Database tables.

SSIS: Credit Card Number Validator (CCNV)
Credit Card Number Validator (CCNV) is a Custom SSIS Data Flow Transformation Component that determines whether the given input is a valid credit card number or not. CCNV takes String/Numeric input and performs a Synchronous, Non-Blocking transformation using Luhn Mod 10 algorithm and validates whether the input is a valid credit card number or not. The output is true if the input is a valid credit card number and false otherwise. CCNV08 is compatible with SQL Server 2008 while CCNV05 is compatible with SQL Server 2005. Contnue Reading
Debugging Custom SSIS Components
Custom SSIS Components consists of Design-time methods and Run-time methods. Debugging a Design-time method is different from a Run-time method. This post explains the techniques to debug Design-time and Run-time methods using the Custom Data Flow Component, Credit Card Number Validator as an example.
Steps to Build and Deploy Custom SSIS Components
This post explains the steps required to build and deploy custom SSIS components. For the purpose of illustration, the Custom SSIS Data Flow Component – Credit Card Number Validator (CCNV) is used.
