Hi All,

Firstly I am new to these forums and apologies if this question has already been answered. I have been looking for some time now, however maybe I am not looking in the right context for the solution.

Here is the issue,

I have been tasked with creating a data warehouse that is in fine sync, 8 hours out of a master 30GB live SQL database.

Now its fairly simple in SSIS to move the data, and in a very quick way... however, I need changes to the live to reflect in the warehouse.

I have started to impliment Slowly Chaning Dimensions, and the fact is these do work, however, on some of the tables with larger record sets, it takes a beyond reasonable amount of time to complete... Therefore not viable,

So my question is, am I doing something wrong with the SCD's or is there a better way to achieve what I am looking for? Ive tried using two lookups with conditions, but seems a very cumbersome way to achieve this...

Any information would be appreciated a lot!

Thanks!

nope..SCDs are known to have performance issue for large datasets. what you can do is to use some custom tasks like table difference component. Another way is implement it using a lookup and then using OLEDB command and destination components.
