Why Cache Transformation Task is Use ?

We can say Cache Transform is buffer storing component in SSIS

We can use Cache Connection Manager with any SQL command such as joins and then Connection manager as your Source for any other transformation

The Cache connection manager does not support the Binary Large Object (BLOB) data types DT_TEXT, DT_NTEXT, and DT_IMAGE. If the reference dataset contains a BLOB data type, the component will fail when you run the package

The transformation that writes data from a connected data source in the data flow to a Cache connection manager that saves the data to a cache file. The Lookup transformation performs lookups on the data in the cache file
