SSIS collations available which are generally faster than the SSIS-compatible . The NSort transformation for Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Integration Services, TxNsort, can be used alongside standard components during the design and execution of an SSIS project. Compared to the standard SSIS sort component, the NSort transformation: 1. Is not limited by the amount of available main memory during execution time. NSort uses temporary files to handle arbitrarily large datasets. 2. Uses less CPU and is faster. 3. Can accept multiple input streams. 4. Can partition its output data into multiple output streams which are emitted in parallel, facilitating parallel downstream processing... There are also two binary, non-SSIS collations available which are generally faster than the SSIS-compatible collations.. While the BIN and BIN2 collating sequences are supported by the SQL Server database system, they are not recognized by the standard SSIS components which require sorted input (e.g. MergeJoin). Normally, NSort indicates in its output metadata how its output is sorted so that downstream components can utilize that order. To prevent the erroneous use of BIN or BIN2 NSort output by standard SSIS components, NSort will make the following modifications to its output metadata: • The key column with a BIN or BIN2 option will not be marked as a sort key. • Any subsequent keys (keys with a higher sort order) will not be marked as sort keys. • If the first NSort key uses BIN or BIN2, NSort will indicate its output is not sorted
