Only the most amazing development in SSIS package generation ever

Biml uses XML and small nuggets of C# or VB code to automatically create huge amounts of SQL scripts, SSIS packages, and SSAS cubes.

Create some metadata for the ConnectionStrings
Parameterize the ConnectionStrings
Create some metadata for the Packages
Parameterize the Packages
