SQL Server Data Transport

SQL Server offers several Bulk Copy commands and tools:

BCP, the Bulk Copy utility, is used to transfer large volumes of data in and out of a database
To exportdata is dumped into a flat file in a delimited format To importdata is first exported from the source database or program and then imported into SQL Server database

BULK INSERT command can be used within Transact-SQL programs to insert large volumes of data from a flat file

Bulk copy API can be used in ODBC, OLE DB, SQL-DMO and SMO applications
OPENROWSET (BULK) can also be used to bulk import large object data in SQL Server

Demonstration: Bulk Copy and Bulk Insert

In this demonstration you will learn to: Extract the data with the Bulk Copy Program (bcp) Use bcp and Bulk Insert to import data into new tables

SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS)

SQL Server Integration Services offers several tools to extract, transform and load data from multiple data sources into SQL Server databases and vice versa Provides control over data flow, looping and conditioning Packages can be built using
SSIS designer in Business Intelligence Development Studio Import / Export Wizard Database Export Utility

Elements of Integration Services

SSIS Tools
SSIS tools are used to create, modify and execute Packages

SSIS Import / Export Wizard

Assists in building simple Packages to import, export, and transform data or to copy database objects

SSIS Designer inside SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT)

Graphical application that lets us build and debug packages containing complex workflows, multiple connections to heterogeneous data sources, and event-driven logic

SSIS Package Execution Utilities

dtexecui.exe dtexec.exe dtutil.exe is a tool used to manage SSIS packages

Demonstration: SSIS Data Flow

In this demonstration you will learn to: Extract conditional table from one source to multiple destinations

Demonstration: Import/Export Wizard

In this demonstration you will learn to: Move data using Import/Export Wizard

Review
We reviewed tools used in Oracle for transferring data out of a database Data Pump Export utility, SQL*Plus, SBMS_UTILITY and UTL_FILE packages and their SQL Server equivalents bcp utility, sqlcmd.exe tool, SSIS, print and SELECT statements We have seen tools used in Oracle for transferring data into a database Data Pump Import utility, SQL*Plus, SQL*Loader and command, SSIS, OPENROWSET We discussed in detail the Bulk Copy commands in SQL Server We discussed SSIS in detail, including:

SSIS Package components such as tasks, transformations and workflow constraints

SSIS tools such as Import//Export Wizard, SSIS Designer
