Title: Mergetastic - A better way to load dimensions in SSIS.

 Abstract:

In this session we’ll look at how T-SQL Merge can be used to perform complex multi-stage tasks such as loading data into datawarehouse dimensions, including the handling of type 0, 1 & 2 slowly changing dimensions.

I’ll present a summary of my MSc dissertation findings, comparing the performance of using T-SQL Merge against other moretraditional methods of loading data warehouse dimensions in SSIS.

We’ll also look at how we can use simple metadata configuration and dynamic SQL to completely automate the generation of themerge statement, resulting in an incredibly simple meta-data configurable data warehouse platform.
