There are four stages of group development, but the one I feel that needs to be discussed deeper is the storming stage. The storming stage is a very important stage in the development because it focuses on the commotion and the interpersonal conflicts as the group dynamics are formed and the members race for their ideas to be recognized (Tsuei , 2022). In this stage the boundaries are tested and the arguments that is going on is very mandatory. The group leader is assigned in this stage and they will give the rest of the group members their parts to do in the assignment and everyone must work together and be on one accord. In the storming stage there is also where everyone come together and put down when everything will done and when everyone should meet together to make sure everyone part is ready to be submitted to the group leader (Tsuei , 2022).

The norming stage is one of the four stages of group and team development. During this stage, team members establish common ground and understand each other’s strengths and weaknesses. Team members may develop a sense of unity and a shared commitment to the team’s goals. Communication becomes more open and respectful, and compromise and collaboration often resolve conflicts (Robbins et al., 2019). The norming stage is essential to team development because it helps to establish a strong foundation for the team to work together effectively. At this point, the team has formed a solid foundation to build, and everyone is on good terms with one another. The team can reduce misunderstandings and promote positive relationships by establishing norms and guidelines. During the norming stage, the team must establish clear goals and roles for each member. This will guarantee that everyone is pulling in the same direction and that their efforts are being adequately appreciated (Robbins et al., 2019). Additionally, during this stage, it is essential to establish effective communication channels to ensure everyone is informed and that concerns can be addressed promptly.

In Group and Team development there are four stages, forming, storming, norming, and performing. Of the four stages, I personally like the storming phase as I believe it is the most critical. The storming phase, otherwise known as the conflict phase is critical to the team’s developing and getting on the same track. It requires the members to be honest with one another about concerns and issues and the group is closer to determining the best course of action. Usually, during this time, a leader is produced that can make compromises when and where needed and can also usually get everyone to buy in. Tension often breeds new ideas and can invoke critical thinking. Walter Lippmann, a journalist, once said “When we all think alike, then no one is thinking.” (Beebe et al, 2021) Proof that conflict creates new ideas and allows the group to properly ascend into the performing stage. In our groups for this class, we had a minor conflict stage as we sought a group leader and divided the tasks. There was miscommunication since we had to type messages and not all of us were on at the same time, leading to delays and other mishaps. By Thursday we moved from the storming stage right into norming.

n the topic Resources, you learned about creating a basic package by using the SQL Server Integrated Services (SSIS) Designer in Business Intelligence Development Studio. Using these resources, discuss how a database administrator can extract data from a database and convert date/time fields out of the data into a different format (DT_DBTIMESTAMP2 to DT_DBDATE).

Hi Professor Perez and Class
When it comes to extracting data from a database and converting date/time fields into different formats that can be done by using such commands as (DT_DBTIMESTAMP2) or (DT_DBDATE). When it comes to the command of (DT_DBDATE) this command will bring back the date in this format of 2023-03-01 if not put in the correct order of today, but this is the right style that most computers and the world use today. Another command to get a date to return within a database is ((DT_DATE)”03/01/2023”) which will bring the date in the correct format of 03/01/2023 when executed. Then we have a format that brings back the time stamp down to the seconds by using this command of (DT_DBTIME2, 5) “16:34:52.12345”. Then you have the command that will bring back not only the date but also the time down to seconds. The command to bring this information up would be (DT_DBTIMESTAMP2, 4) “1999-10-11 16:34:52.1234”. All these commands and then some can bring every data and bring the data/time forward in these formats depending on which command we type or use for the database (Microsoft. 2023).

To extract data from a database and convert the date/time format, the user must create a new SSIS project within the SSDT program. The first step once the project is opened is to attach a data flow task to the project. The user will then need to select the source database from which they are trying to acquire data. They will then have to hook the outputs from the source database to a data conversion tool and configure it to convert the data from the DT_DBTIMESTAMP2 data type to the DT_DBDATE data format. Lastly, the user will need to connect the data conversion to the source destination database, after configuring the table in the source database for the new data, and then run the package to extract all data and verify that it is correct.

To extract data from a database and convert date/time fields out of the data into a different format (DT_DBTIMESTAMP2 to DT_DBDATE) using SSIS, a database administrator can follow the steps below:
· Create a new Integration Services project in Open Business Intelligence Development Studio.
· In the SSIS Designer, drag and drop a Data Flow Task onto the Control Flow tab.
· Double-click on the Data Flow Task to open the Data Flow tab.
· Drag and drop an OLE DB Source onto the Data Flow tab.
· Double-click on the OLE DB Source to open the OLE DB Source Editor and configure the database connection and SQL query to extract the required data. Ensure that the query includes the date/time fields that need to be converted.
· Drag and drop a Data Conversion transformation onto the Data Flow tab.
· Connect the output of the OLE DB Source to the input of the Data Conversion transformation.
· Double-click on the Data Conversion transformation to open the Data Conversion Editor.
· In the Data Conversion Editor, select the date/time fields that need to be converted and change their data type to DT_DBDATE.\
· Drag and drop an OLE DB Destination onto the Data Flow tab.
· Connect the output of the Data Conversion transformation to the input of the OLE DB Destination.
· Double-click on the OLE DB Destination to open the OLE DB Destination Editor and configure the database connection and table where the extracted data will be stored.
· Map the columns from the input to the destination table.
· Click OK to save the configurations and close the editors.\Run the SSIS package to extract the data and convert the date/time fields into the required format.
