16 CHAPTER 2 Setting Up Integration Services<br />

TIP<br />

Northwind and Pubs sample databases are not installed by default. If you want to have<br />

those sample databases, you can download them. The website address is<br />

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/thankyou.aspx?familyId=06616212-0356-46a0-<br />

8da2-eebc53a68034&displayLang=en. If you don’t want to type in this monstrous URL,<br />

you can go to the downloads section of Microsoft.com and search for “Northwind and<br />

Pubs Sample database.”<br />

The AdventureWorks sample database is on CodePlex along with a number of other sample<br />

projects you can freely download. You can find those projects at http://codeplex.<br />

com/SqlServerSamples. The link for the AdventureWorks sample database is<br />

http://www.codeplex.com/MSFTDBProdSamples/Release/ProjectReleases.aspx?Release<br />

Id=16040, or you can go to codeplex and search for “AdventureWorks Sample<br />

Database.”<br />

Setting Up Book Samples<br />

A number of sample packages and other projects are referenced heavily in this book. You<br />

can copy these samples to your hard drive so that you can learn by playing. After downloading<br />

the sample files from www.samspublishing.com, locate the folder at the root<br />

called SAMPLES. Copy that folder to a location on your machine’s hard drive.<br />

At the root of the SAMPLES folder is a README.TXT file. It explains how to set up your<br />

machine so that the packages run without having to change them in any way. Here are<br />

the instructions as found in the readme file:<br />

Each sample is kept in a folder named by the chapter number.<br />

Sample folders are named ‘S’ followed by the chapter number of their corresponding<br />

chapter.<br />

For example, samples for chapter 7 on containers are in a folder called S07-Containers.<br />

————— ————— ————— ————— ————— ————— ———- —————<br />

Copy the samples to a folder on your hard drive. Something like C:\SSISBOOK\SAMPLES.<br />

Ensure that the samples for each of the chapters are directly below this folder just as<br />

they are in the redistribution.<br />

For example, the containers samples should be in the C:\SSISBOOK\SAMPLES\S07-<br />

Containers folder.<br />

The Variables samples should be in the C:\SSISBOOK\SAMPLES\S09-Variables folder.<br />

There should also be a SCRIPT, SCRATCH, and SAMPLEDATA folder under the SAMPLES<br />

folder.
