Brian Knight announced that his new book, Professional SQL Server 2005 Integration Services, would ship within a few weeks. It was a collaboration with nine other authors, including three SQL Server MVPs.
The book used a tutorial format: after introducing a concept, it walked the reader through an example. Brian also thanked members of Microsoft's SSIS team for their technical editing.
A sample chapter offered a substantial tutorial intended to help readers get started with SSIS. Brian used the example in speaking sessions because it demonstrated many SSIS features through a real-world, end-to-end package scenario involving looping through and archiving files.
The original evidence links were the PDF 584359_ch05.PDF — “Creating an End-to-End Package” and the Amazon book listing.
Recovery limitations
The original sample-chapter PDF was not recovered and has not been recreated. This page preserves only the archived announcement and the PDF's verified filename and chapter title.
2026 Update
The book, the SQL Server 2005-era tutorial, and both original links are historical. Their presence here is archival evidence, not a statement that the linked files remain available or that the material applies to a supported current SSIS release.
