Here are some questions to help you determine whether you have learned enough to move on to the next chapter. If you have difficulty answering these questions, review the material in this chapter before beginning the next chapter. The answers for these questions are located in the Appendix, "Questions and Answers."

  1. You are analyzing the data in a text file containing data that you want to import into your database. You have determined that the data is internally consistent, but contains fields that are inconsistent with existing data in your database. The text file is representative of data that you will be importing weekly. What is your best solution for achieving the necessary data consistency? You have already determined that you cannot change the original data source.
  2. Describe the difference between the On Success precedence constraint and the On Completion precedence constraint.
  3. You have created and saved a simple data import and transform package that imports data from the spreadsheets maintained by your salespeople for expense reports. However, you want to add additional functionality to the package, including notifying an administrator after the entire sales staff has uploaded their expense reports. How might you accomplish this?
  4. You have created a package that collects completed sales information from several different spreadsheet files used by salespeople in your company. After it collects this information, it inserts the collected information in one of your sales reporting databases. You want to distribute this package to your salespeople to execute regularly as part of their weekly reports. However, you do not want them to be able to open or edit the package. How should you save this package and how should you secure it?
  5. You want to import a large amount of data from a text file into a table that contains a clustered and a nonclustered index. The data being inserted exists in the text file in the same order as the clustered index. As part of the process, you first truncate the existing table to replace it with this new data. Should you drop each of the indexes before you insert the new data?
