You are developing a Microsoft SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) package. The package design consists of two differently structured sources in a single data flow. The Sales source retrieves sales transactions from a SQL Server database, and the Product source retrieves product details from an XML file.
You need to combine the two data flow sources into a single output dataset.
Which SSIS Toolbox item should you use?
Answer options
- A. CDC Control task
- B. CDC Splitter
- C. Union All
- D. XML task
- E. Fuzzy Grouping
- F. Merge
- G. Merge Join
Correct answer: G
Explanation
The correct choice is G, Merge Join, as it is specifically designed to combine two datasets based on a common key or relation, making it suitable for merging structured data from different sources. The other options, such as CDC Control task and XML task, serve different purposes and do not facilitate the merging of these two distinct data sources.
