Davide describes it best in his own words: What is DTLoggedExec?

If I were a full-time ETL developer or an operations DBA, this is definitely a tool I’d be using every day.

In case you were looking for the SQL Server 2005 Metadata Toolkit...

This cool toolkit went AWOL from the Download Center some time ago and has been hiding on Skydrive for a while now, but it seemed to me that it deserves a better home than that... So I created a resource page for it in the MSDN Code Gallery.

SQL Server Metadata Toolkit - Home

The current release for SQL Server 2005 is there, including the MSI and the whitepaper.

Now that it's in community project land, it needs some lovin' to bring it up to spec for SQL Server 2008, and if you'd like to volunteer, I'd be happy to set you up to do that!

Very schweet! Congratulations to the team!!

SQL Server Performance : ETL World Record!

An ETL standard benchmark sounds like a great idea.

Need to Renumber All Your Packages?

If you do quasi-template driven development for Integration Services packages, you might find yourself in a situation where you suspect that your problems stem from concurrently executing packages that share the same GUID value for package ID. When that's the case, you'll probably want an automated means to do this instead of manually cracking them all open, right? Well, here it is (buried in the Support Knowledge Base):

for %%f in (<FilePath>\*.dtsx) do dtutil.exe /i /File %%f
