SSIS vs Bulk Load


Based on 2000 experience with DTS, a lot of people prefer set operations or bulk load over transformations. One big benefit of SSIS transformations is that you can execute several operations in one pass--which you can't do with set operations. And if you use the SQL Server Destination adapter (and native SQL connection manager), you get speeds much faster than OLEDB--in fact you can get virtually identical speed to bulk load. One thing to watch out for is that when using the SQL Server Destination, the package must run on same machine as destination database.
