Just a short note to tell you about a webcast that is coming up on 25th October 2006.
"How to use the DataReader Source and the OLE DB Source objects in SQL Server 2005 Integration Services"
The subject matter will be (it says 'ere):
This Support WebCast provides an overview of how to effectively configure data flow sources such as the DataReader Source object and the OLE DB Source object in Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Integration Services (SSIS). Presentation topics include how to configure the Connection Manager for third-party OLE DB and ODBC drivers, how to specify data flow sources, and how to configure code page conversions.
This is a level 300 session so I'd expect the material to be quite in depth - especially in regard to connecting to third party systems.
