Using multiple thread when executing SSIS packages

    When you execute an SSIS package, does it use a single thread or do I have the ability to make it run using multiple threads so it executes faster?

    If the objects in your control flow are not connected by precedence constraints, they will execute concurrently (subject to the MaxConcurrentExecutables package property).

    So ... multiple threads are under your control.

    Packages don't always execute faster when run in parallel, though. Try loading multiple worksheets from the same Excel spreadsheet at the same time as a quick example.

    There are properties to certain Data Flow tasks that allow you to control the number of threads and to increase the buffer size to 100 MB.   FYI...
