AUG 2022 - Change Management with CT and Temporary Tables by Tim Mitchell

Abstract

Managing and moving data efficiently requires a reliable system for detecting changes, and in some cases, for tracking the history of those changes. For data stored in SQL Server, there are two easy-to-use methods for this: change tracking and temporal tables. In this session, we'll take a look at SQL Server change tracking and SQL Server temporal tables. We'll cover the basics of each of these and will review some ideal use cases for each. We'll go through several demos to show how these can be used through normal T-SQL operations as well as ETL tools such as SSIS.
