New 10-minute how-to videos on Integration Services

The Integration Services documentation team at Microsoft recently published its very first batch of 10-minute how-to videos. We hope that beginning to intermediate users will find these useful, and we're pleased to be taking some first steps beyond the written word of BOL. 

You can find the entire list of 5 Integration Services and 3 Analysis Services videos at this MSDN page for SQL Server Videos. The Integration Services videos are:

• Creating a Basic Package (SQL Server Video)   (This could have been called "getting started with Integration Services".)
• Exporting SQL Server Data to Excel (SQL Server Video)  (This is a walkthrough of using the SQL Server Import and Export Wizard.)
• How to: Call a Web Service by Using the Web Service Task (SQL Server Video)
• How to: Implement a Lookup Transformation in Full Cache Mode (SQL Server Video)  (This video uses the SQL Server 2008 version of the Lookup transformation.)
• How to: Use the Data Profiling Task (SQL Server Video)   (The Data Profiling task is new in SQL Server 2008.)

Meanwhile another one of our colleagues has published 6 videos for the Data Mining Add-ins for Excel, which were probably the coolest existing MS BI components demonstrated over and over again at the recent Microsoft BI conference. AFTER Integration Services, of course.
