Ask HN: Do you use SSIS (sql server integration server)?
If you use ssis would you be interested in a new application to review packages?
One click get to any property (including script tasks) with no more dialog boxes etc.
Would you possibly take a quick look at this survey, only 5 questions!
It would really help me out!
https://ed277.typeform.com/to/Rs8Gzd We struggled with code reviews, the bids diff tool caused crashes so we couldn't even use that. Merges were a huge pain, our packages at the time were too big but I've heard the gripe around the net a bit too. Then there's that PITA SCD task that looses all config each time it's opened. Believe there is at least 1 commercial equivalent for that one. Maybe 1 that pushes more of the work to the database would be good. Reliability would be the big consideration for moving from ssis to a 3rd party product as main editor, support for future versions etc BIML looked very interesting and seemed to be getting a lot of traction as well. I'm mostly out of data work now, but id be curious to hear what your thinking of doing here? I was lucky enough to get out of SSIS work a earlier this year (and I only did it for about 6 months total) but it seems to me that if you want to make some money off of SSIS take a look at version control. Currently, SSIS packages in git are a crapshoot. There is no way to tell what has changed and what a merge will do. We've had a merge actually cause our steps to execute out of order. If you could create a tool that allows for easily doing version control (with merges) for SSIS packages that would be an easier sell than a new IDE
