[edit] Disadvantages

I'd like to remove the "Disadvantages" seciton, as both claims are unreferenced and vague.

1)Developement by click and drag. While the primary use of the designer is to draw data flows and task flows, the object model is documented and can be driven by any developer writing in a managed language. Also, some users have written their own packages directly to XML.

2)Geared towards tradtional programmers, not database developers. This is quite vauge; do "traditional programmers" click and drag? What are "traditional programmers"? How would the product be geared more towards database develoeprs? Are database developers really the target for a data warehousing tool?

If someone can clarify or reference these assertions, they're finte to stay -- but I don't think they're viable right now. --Mikeblas 19:07, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

I've removed it entirely. It's probably better to say nothing at all than to be vague almost to the point of being meaningless. Warrens 22:11, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

OTOH, the article for this commercial product reads rather like it's manufacturer's whitepapers; for example, I tagged "fast and flexible" with "needs citation": fast compared to what? Determined flexible by whom? Pete St.John 18:23, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] "Unofficial site"

I've removed the phrase "SQL Server Integration Services unofficial site" from the link to SQLIS.com in my most recent edit. There are many unofficial sites, this one does not deserve the sole indicator of "unofficial site". So I've changed the text to indicate that it is simply, SQLIS.com.
