What is Control Flow in SSIS?

Control Flow in SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) is a workflow engine that helps in defining the order in which tasks and containers are executed. It provides a structured and logical sequence of operations to control the flow of data during ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) processes.

Examples of Control Flow Tasks in SSIS

• Execute SQL Task: This task is used to execute SQL statements or stored procedures in a database.
• Data Flow Task: It is used to move data between sources and destinations using data pipelines.
• Script Task: Allows you to write custom code using languages like C# or VB.NET to perform specific actions.
• Conditional Split Task: It directs data flow based on specified conditions.
• For Loop Container: Enables looping over a set of tasks until a specified condition is met.

These are just a few examples of the many control flow tasks available in SSIS that help in designing complex and efficient ETL processes.
