Module 8: Loading Data into a Data Warehouse

This module describes the techniques you can use to implement data warehouse load process.

Lessons

• Planning Data Loads
• Using SSIS for Incremental Loads
• Using Transact-SQL Loading Techniques

Module 9: Enforcing Data Quality

This module introduces Microsoft SQL Server Data Quality Services (DQS), and describes how you can use it to cleanse and deduplicate data.

Lessons

• Introduction to Data Quality
• Using Data Quality Services to Cleanse Data
• Using Data Quality Services to Cleanse Data

Module 10: Master Data Services
