I'm in the process of creating and testing new templates for my company's SSIS packages. A colleague and I are debating/wondering about Cache and Lookup Transformation vs. Index Views (materialized views). These packages will be used for incremental loads....
with these in mind, does anyone have any guidelines, suggestions or things I should keep in mind as we determine the more optimized route?
Overall we're looking to reduce current package execution times. I personally don't see the use of materialized views b/c of the required data maintenance, restrictions in script, etc.
