So I am working on a project to help myself learn more / get experience with SSIS. I have created a scenario where I am tracking a fictional bank's data. I started with a basic schema that tracks account transactions. This is working just fine, but my problem is I'd like to create a schema with a higher level of granularity (account snapshots by day).
Since there can be multiple transactions each day, I need to sum the changes in all transactions that took place on a given day. Each transaction is created with a corresponding timestamp. How in SSIS can I essentially say "SUM transactionAmmount FROM mytable GroupBy day" given timestamp information?
I did it, (essentially I converted it to a string and I pulled out the time data) but I have to believe there is a better way.
