legit been watching you since I first started learning SQL Server, and you have been an invaluable resource to my career growth. Thank you times a million for all the content you've created. While this is slightly outdated, all the concepts are easily transferable to the newer version of SSIS/Visual Studio. Again, thank you!

[@WiseOwlTutorials]

You're very welcome James! Lovely to hear that you've found the videos useful and I'm happy that they've helped you over the years. Thanks for taking the time to write a comment, it's much appreciated!

This is one of the best Tutorials on Yotube, Amazing Instructions, Clear Everything, Phenomenal Pedagogy. Please, please, please post some more.

[@IQBooksPub]

These tutorials look to be working just fine in 2020, with no major differences noticed so far. If I notice any bottle neck and work around, I will post here. Thanks for the great videos!

[@koushalpatel]

Hello There!! Greetings from India. This is an awesome tutorial. Positive points 1) nicely explained 2) simple language 3) simple bullet points which we need to take care of 4) being a .NET guy, it helped me using some c# skills for message display like the way you did. APPRECIATIONS!! Keep up doing great works. Thank you! :)

[@curtisbrown44]

I thoroughly enjoy learning SSIS through Andy's videos. Well explained and demonstrated, and very much appreciated by us beginner developers.

[@danielbassett4068]

For anyone having errors around validation here is the workthrough. 1. Right click on the project in solution explorer 2. Click on Properties 3. Under Configuration Properties => Debugging ...change Run64BitRuntime to 'false'.

[@ramprasathselvamani8652]

Thanks Daniel. Its Working and You are a Star.

[@bluesman2733]

Hi Daniel.I am getting the same error. Tried the method suggested by you but am still not able to create a new excel destination sheet. Will appreciate if you can help with this. Thanks

[@andywingate79]

I knew I would like this guild as soon as the dude sorted out his start up and the dry humour around at the point of mentioning that copy paste would spring to mind... Great guide...

[@GeekLeadrCoffeeBreak]

Excellent series. I binge watched the entire collection on a round trip flights coast to coast in the US. Cleared up a lot of my questions about SSIS, explaining both the pragmatic, "how to" ones and the conceptual, "what does this really mean" ones. Well organized and presented with clarity and a touch of humor. Both informative and entertaining. Thanks for this great resource.

[@Sid03519]

This was by far the best and easiest way to begin with SSIS.. Great job and many thanks..😎👐🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@iim1914]

Great video. Thank you. Can you please tell me one of some of the SSIS challenges you have faced on the job and how you resolved them?

[@motorola99]

yeah me too

[@andybrown7443]

We are primarily a classroom training company, so it's more what challenges I hear delegates experiencing (you learn more about software from teaching it than from doing). Configuring flat file connections is often a challenge, particularly when they contain null values or are not well-constructed. Other than that I'd say SSIS has no great issues, and is an excellent tool. Anyone else care to chip in?

[@ronatola]

Great vids Owl. I went to see if I could download your EXERCISES but see that they are cost prohibitive, and the minimum order quantity is 50. Is there any other way to obtain the exercises? Also, what about the sourcefiles - like your MOVIES table? Any way I could get my hands on those? It would make it much easier when following you on the video.
