• Boise SQL Server User Group Presentation

  Thanks to those who attended the second meeting of the Boise SQL Server User Group. We had a good turnout of around 30 people and I hope everyone enjoyed my presentation of SQL Server 2008 Integration Services (SSIS). I tried to balance the presentation between those who hadn't used SSIS and those who have. If you are interested in the sample projects, packages, and data files from the talk, here they are.
