Last week we looked at using the Azure Feature Pack for SSIS to interface with Azure Storage. Today we’re going to solve a couple of the common issues I’ve seen when using this pack. Bad or timed out requests You can set up a connection to the storage and it tests fine, but when you come to […]
I recently ran into an issue when trying to call a function from an ADF pipeline. The function returned a generic Internal Server Error with no details exposed.

These will let us use features not available natively. They can also provide a challenge down the line when we come to deploy changes to […]
Whilst we have front-end code which requires faster response times, there are also times we build code with the purpose of running for extended periods of time. Examples of this could be maintenance routine, or custom built queuing mechanisms. The way in which we design longer running processes like this can be key when it […]
Last time out we looked at how data can be persisted even with a ROLLBACK being executed. Here we’re going to take that and look at an example of using it in action. We’ll generate some data – which may be good or bad – and try to add it to a table. If there’s any bad data […]
We recently looked at the impact of rolling back transactions on statistics and I thought it would be worth following this up to look at some other objects to see how they behave when a rollback occurs. When rolling back transactions we expect any changes to be rolled back. This isn’t always the case with data, just […]
