SSIS - Loading Dimension Tables

Written by Brian Knight | Dec 29, 2017

Are you interested in learning more about loading dimension tables in SSIS? A recent webinar with Manuel Quintana, Training Content Manager at Pragmatic Works, dives into SSIS and takes a look at the different design options that are available for maintaining dimensions in a traditional data warehouse.

In the webinar, which includes demos, Manuel goes over the beginning elements of loading dimensions and reviews why your goal should be to move away from transactional, normalized systems and get into a denormalized data warehouse system.

Manuel not only teaches about the benefits of a dimensional model, but discusses dimension types, dimension tables and surrogate keys. He then spends time on demos about designing and loading a dimension.
