➤➤ Term Lookup: Looks up terms extracted from text and references the value from a reference
table.
➤➤ Union All: Merges multiple data sets into a single data set.
➤➤ Unpivot: Unpivots the data from a non-normalized format to a relational format.
Destinations
Inside the Data Flow, destinations consume the data after the data pipe leaves the last
transformation components. The flexible architecture can send the data to nearly any OLE DB–
compliant, flat file, or ADO.NET data source. Like sources, destinations are also managed through
the Connection Manager. The following destinations are available to you in SSIS:
➤➤ ADO.NET Destination: Exposes data to other external processes, such as a .NET
application.
➤➤ Data Mining Model Training: Trains an Analysis Services mining model by passing data
from the Data Flow to the destination.
➤➤ Data Reader Destination: Allows the ADO.NET DataReader interface to consume data,
similar to the ADO.NET Destination.
➤➤ Dimension Processing: Loads and processes an Analysis Services dimension. It can perform
a full, update, or incremental refresh of the dimension.
➤➤ Excel Destination: Outputs data from the Data Flow to an Excel spreadsheet.
➤➤ Flat File Destination: Enables you to write data to a comma-delimited or fixed-width file.
➤➤ ODBC Destination: Outputs data to an ODBC data connection like SQL Server, DB2, or
Oracle.
➤➤ OLE DB Destination: Outputs data to an OLE DB data connection like SQL Server, Oracle,
or Access.
➤➤ Partition Processing: Enables you to perform incremental, full, or update processing of an
Analysis Services partition.
➤➤ Raw File Destination: Outputs data in a binary format that can be used later as a Raw File
Source. It’s usually used as an intermediate persistence mechanism.
➤➤ Recordset Destination: Writes the records to an ADO record set. Once written, to an object
variable, it can be looped over a variety of ways in SSIS like a Script Task or a Foreach Loop
Container.
➤➤ SQL Server Compact Edition Destination: Inserts data into a SQL Server running the
Compact Edition of the product on a mobile device or PC.
➤➤ SQL Server Destination: The destination that you use to write data to SQL Server. This
destination has many limitations, such as the ability to only write to the SQL Server where
the SSIS package is executing. For example, if you’re running a package to copy data from
Server 1 to Server 2, the package must run on Server 2. This destination is there largely for
backwards compatibility and should not be used.
