• SQL Server SCD Insert and Identity Columns

  It looks like you can't use an identity column to generate your surrogates. (Leave out the value during the insert operation) What gives So is the only alternative to do a lookup when I start my data flow to get the Max surrogate, then after my SCD and before the OLE insert destination , use a script task to increment Using identity columns should be a best practice for surrogate keys in SSIS -  ...Show All

  As the topic says, I need to find out how many subscribers there are to an event, given only an object and the event's name.  And, that event is owned by another class (currently limited to my own code, in my own assembly, but I can't expect that in the future).  My previous solution was to modifty the add/remove accessors, and expose a field that counted the adds/removes.  That was ugly.
