1. What is SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) and how is it used in data integration?
SSIS is a component of Microsoft SQL Server that enables data migration, transformation, and workflow automation. It is widely used for integrating data from various sources into a unified system for analysis, reporting, or storage.

2. Explain the ETL process and how SSIS supports it.
ETL stands for Extract, Transform, Load. SSIS supports the ETL process by extracting data from sources (like databases, files, etc.), transforming it using a variety of built-in tools (e.g., data cleansing, formatting), and loading it into a target system such as a data warehouse.

3. What are the key components of an SSIS package?
Key components include Control Flow (for workflow), Data Flow (for data processing), Connection Managers (to connect to data sources), Variables, Event Handlers, and Parameters. These components define the logic and behavior of the package.

4. How does the Control Flow differ from the Data Flow in SSIS?
Control Flow manages the execution order and flow of tasks (like looping, conditionals), while Data Flow handles the actual data movement and transformation from source to destination within the package.

5. What are variables and parameters in SSIS, and how are they used?
Variables are used to store values that can be referenced throughout the package for dynamic control. Parameters allow values to be passed into a package at runtime, making the package more flexible and reusable across environments.

6. Describe some common transformations available in the Data Flow task.
Common transformations include Derived Column (create new calculated fields), Lookup (join with reference data), Conditional Split (route data based on conditions), Data Conversion, Aggregate, Merge Join, and Union All.

7. What is the role of the Event Handler in an SSIS package?
Event Handlers define what actions should be taken when specific events (like OnError, OnWarning, OnTaskFailed) occur during package execution. They help with logging, alerting, and executing fallback or corrective logic.

8. How can you deploy an SSIS package to a production environment?
SSIS packages can be deployed using the SSIS Catalog (in SQL Server Management Studio), Integration Services Deployment Wizard, or by importing into SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT). You configure environments and parameters before deployment.

9. Explain how error handling is managed in SSIS.
Error handling is managed through Event Handlers and error output paths in the Data Flow. You can redirect failed rows to error logs or separate tables, log error details, and continue execution based on the severity of the error.

10. What are checkpoints in SSIS and how do they work?
Checkpoints allow a package to restart from the point of failure instead of rerunning the entire process. When enabled, SSIS saves execution information to a checkpoint file, which it uses to resume execution if a failure occurs.
