I have therefore had to customise it to use Conditional Split and Lookup tasks instead. For deletion, I have had to use EXCEPT&amp;#40;&amp;#41; in the Execute SQL Task. I found out about this Kimball SCD later and it has simplied and sped up the warehouse development.</description><author>ch1nch1nsu</author><pubDate>Sun, 23 Jan 2011 11:44:13 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">Reviewed: Kimball Method SCD v1.5 (Jan 23, 2011) 20110123114413A</guid></item><item><title>Reviewed: Kimball Method SCD v1.5 (Aug 27, 2010)</title><link>http://kimballscd.codeplex.com/releases/view/25249#ReviewBy-gedmondson</link><description>Rated 5 Stars &amp;#40;out of 5&amp;#41; - This is by far the best SSIS component that I have downloaded from CodePlex.

If you are a follower of the Kimball dimensional methodology, then this is definately a time saving component for you.  And, it will keep you honest at the same time by making you think about  auditing and providing all the details you need to store in the Kimball recommended audit database.  And, the forum feedback is always timely.</description><author>tcash</author><pubDate>Tue, 13 Apr 2010 14:53:14 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">Reviewed: Kimball Method SCD v1.5 (Apr 13, 2010) 20100413025314P</guid></item><item><title>Reviewed: Kimball Method SCD v1.5 (Mar 30, 2010)</title><link>http://kimballscd.codeplex.com/releases/view/25249#ReviewBy-NathanG</link><description>Rated 5 Stars &amp;#40;out of 5&amp;#41; - This component is very powerful and keeps improving with each release.

We have been using the component for over a year on dimension tables with &amp;#62; 2M rows in SQL Server.  We recently began moving to a Netezza server and continue to leverage the KM-SCD component.</description><author>fred_mumble</author><pubDate>Sat, 14 Nov 2009 20:27:15 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">Reviewed: Kimball Method SCD v1.4 (Nov 14, 2009) 20091114082715P</guid></item><item><title>Reviewed: Kimball Method SCD v1.4 (Oct 13, 2009)</title><link>http://kimballscd.codeplex.com/Release/ProjectReleases.aspx?ReleaseId=18783#ReviewBy-dvernet</link><description>Rated 4 Stars &amp;#40;out of 5&amp;#41; - This is a great addition to the SSIS ETL toolkit.
