In reply to Ben. Ben & Richard, That setting makes no difference to the way the query for the data source runs. What that setting does is to set the buffer size entirely according to the DefaultBufferMaxRows setting, rather than restricting it to DefaultBufferSize. It’s essentially like giving DefaultBufferSize an “unlimited” value.

This is a great tip for optimization.
I was using this in SQL and not in SSIS.

Hi Rob,
Will this still apply in SSIS 2016 with the Data Flow Buffer Auto Sizing capability ?
Thanks
