Now I might be stupid but when I try to build the solution the file Rhino.Etl.Core\Properties\AssemblyInfo.cs is missing... So is it incomplete or am I just not doing it right? http://ayende.com/3102/rhino-etl-2-0#comment6http://ayende.com/3102/rhino-etl-2-0#comment6Fri, 18 Jan 2008 19:35:56 GMTYou can execute commands normally, so it would probably be something like (this is not the real command, I can't recall that off the top of my head): Initialze() { // register pipeline ExecuteNonQuery("MyDb", "dbcc turn_off_identity for blah"); } PostProcess() { ExecuteNonQuery("MyDb", "dbcc turn_on_identity for blah"); } http://ayende.com/3102/rhino-etl-2-0#comment5http://ayende.com/3102/rhino-etl-2-0#comment5Wed, 16 Jan 2008 19:16:42 GMTI have clients with very stringent, yet technology agnostic backup requirements that keep getting me pushed in the direction of SSIS, but the clients' rarely have the on-site technical moxy to maintain such a system. If I look into Rhino ETL to extract slices of data for backup (the clients don't want to bother with backing it all up), does ETL have features to let me turn off auto-incrementing identities when restoring data from the file based backup? Thanks! I'm looking forward to using this tool. http://ayende.com/3102/rhino-etl-2-0#comment4http://ayende.com/3102/rhino-etl-2-0#comment4Wed, 16 Jan 2008 19:14:27 GMTETL stands for Extract Transform and Load so in general it is that sort of software that enables you to move, consolidate, and do many other sophisticated operations on any type of data. BTW: Oren maybe it is a good time to start having a small dictionary on your web site. Mostly with the abbreviations you are using in your posts. OK - it's not that hard to find them on wiki, google etc. but one has to spend some time to do it and what's more dangerous some abbreviations stand for more than one term and this makes such (google,wiki) approach misunderstanding prone :) http://ayende.com/3102/rhino-etl-2-0#comment3http://ayende.com/3102/rhino-etl-2-0#comment3Wed, 16 Jan 2008 08:29:42 GMTYou are the MAN!
