In our ETL development, we don't always receive the data in the exact format that we expect it to be. For instance, there might be cases that the incoming data is a string value while we expect an integer, or in some other cases, there might be unexpected whitespaces which can make the lookup difficult. This blog post will specifically cover the lookup scenario and show you how to achieve the lookup functionality without additional extra work.

It’s a very common practice to receive news updates using RSS feeds. Even though users are shifting to social media for getting news and headlines that are prominent, these platforms are controlled by algorithms that decide what news goes to which user, and users may see the headlines which the platform decides.

Now, when it comes to integration, extracting RSS feeds data can be a challenging task without a proper tool. In our blog post here today, we will show how you could leverage KingswaySoft SSIS Productivity Pack to achieve this with ease, so that you could possibly consume the data in your ETL process with great control.
