I am creating a nightly process to refresh data in a datawarehouse. In prior projects I have created a dataPullHistory type of table. In there I would store statistics of the pull as a unit and stats for the smaller steps inside the whole.
The plan is to run a doall-maestro sproc from within SSIS.
From a conceptual point of view which is the more attractive:
1) create a datapullhistory table and populate it within doall sproc (easiest).
2) create a log file populate from SQL (not hard, however cannot query for stats)
3) write to job log. aka right click job 'view history'
4) other...
On a lighter note: SS2005 TRY CATCH are/is a beautiful thing with dynamic queries.
thanks
