Implement Metadata driven ETL in SQL SERVER 2008

  • Hi

    I am planning to design Metadata driven ETL implementation using SQL SERVER 2008 SSIS.

    I need some sample examples or related documents /site references to implement this.

    Thanks for any ideas, suggestions, or thoughts on this.

    Regards,

    BJ

  • Hello BJ,

    Not sure how far you have gone with this yet but I would be interested in learning about your experiences.

    Here is a link in case you've not gotten too far:

    There used to be a white paper on this subject but can't seem to locate a download for it.

  • Marc,

    Thanks for your reply.

    I have already gone through MDDE.

    MDDE is only supported by SQL SERVER 2005.

    The following package elements are currently supported:

    Containers

    Sequence

    For Each

    For

    Connection managers

    Event handlers

    Log providers

    Variables

    Execute SQL Task

    Data Flow Task

    Derived Column

    Lookup

    OLEDB Command

    Row Count

    Merge

    Sources

    Flat File

    OLEDB

    Destinations

    Flat File

    Raw File .

    We can not change the mapping of the source and destination tables,if we want to do.

    I am looking for Architecture of Metadata driven ETL,where I can stored mapping of tables into metadata repository(in the database).

    Regards,

    BJ

  • BJ,

    Did you ever find anything along this lines? I too am looking at seeing what I can leverage, and the MDDE project isn't suitable (since it hasn't been updated from SQL Server 2005.)

  • I recently launched a metadata driven ETL tool that you may be interested in. http://www.leapfrogbi.com
