Jamie Thompson on the Data Profiling Task

SSIS Junkie Jamie Thompson has once more made the rest of the SSIS community look lazy by posting a multi-part[1] series of blog posts on the new Data Profiling Task in the February CTP of SQL Server 2008. If you're at all interested in data quality, definitely check it out:

I promise I was going to do this really soon[2] but since Jamie has done such an excellent job, I guess now I won't need to be bothered. Thanks, Jamie!

[1] This was originally "five-part" but Jamie has since added two more. I don't know if he's done yet, so I'll leave it as this.
[2] Boy, that's weird - Blogger.com doesn't support the new "blatant lie" HTML tag ;-)
[3] Part 8 added on March 4
