Summary

If you don't fully understand all this right now, that's OK. The following chapters should help clarify the concepts for you. It's not necessary to fully understand how the Data Flow Task accomplishes what it does to derive benefits from using it, but if you want to know the technical details, Chapter 22, "Advanced Data Flow Transforms," digs down deep into the Data Flow Task architecture and design. If you want to know how to tune your Data Flow Task so it is more performant, see Chapter 23. Finally, the other three chapters in this section cover the rich set of components that ship with Integration Services.
