Chapter 4. Dimension ETL with SSIS

The next three chapters focus on the discussion of ETL for data warehousing and business intelligence processing. This chapter examines the processing of dimension tables in SSIS. Dimension tables are a data warehouse concept, which this chapter describes and then discusses how to move data from your data sources to your data warehouse dimension tables. Similar to this, Chapter 5 reviews the same things, but only applied for fact tables. Chapter 6 also covers business intelligence, but looks at the integration of SSIS with SQL Server 2005 Analysis Services (SSAS). Integration between SSIS and SSAS involves Online Analytical Processing (OLAP) cube and dimension processing, as well as SSAS data mining querying and training.
