Hi,
So in SQL 2012, all packages are maintained in the "SSISDB Catalog". SSISDB is the also the default database created in relation to this (when we create a catalog).
I have a few queries -
1) Is the package stored as an XML in an XML datatype column in a table in SSISDB database ?
I see that the "package_data" in internal.Packages table is NULL , so it's not the same as it used to be before in SysSSISPackages.
OR
2) Is the package stored Physically as an XML file somewhere ?
So in other words, how does the CATALOG store the package ?
Also, what about the SysSSISpackages table in MSDB , is that not relavent anymore ?
I can see none of the packages deployed to the Catalog, have anything to do with having a reference in the SysSSISpackages table - as was the case in the past.
Please clarify, Thank You.
