SQL Server Integration Services
Appearance
SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) is a component of Microsoft SQL Server 2005. It replaces Data Transformation Services, a feature of SQL Server since Version 7.0.
Integration Services provides a platform to build data integration and workflow applications. The primary use for SSIS is data warehousing, as the product features a fast and flexible data extraction, transformation, and loading (ETL) engine. The tool may also be used to automate maintenance of SQL Server databases.
