Always a pleasure, Jes. I haven’t missed a T-SQL Tuesday yet. 🙂

Thanks for throwing your hat in the T-SQL Tuesday ring Rob! As someone who is just getting more comfortable with execution plans and the query optimizer, and has very little knowledge of SSIS, this is easy-to-understand and helpful info.

hanks for the effort. I especially like the analogy using playing cards, it makes a complex topic clear.

Really great post, Rob! I very much like the mix of optimizer and SSIS information– I don’t tend to read up much on SSIS, but I really enjoy reading your posts.
I did get a little bit of a laugh from this sentence:
"This is all very straight-forward stuff, and information that most people are fully aware of."
You may be spending too much time with geeks, Rob. 🙂

Something odd was going on with the links for this. It was saved as a draft on the 7th, and published on the 8th. Hopefully both links work…
