Technically, though, "over 20000" remains correct. The actual number can be found on the right hand side of the page (you may need to scroll down).

Yes. Easy from Sequences, you can use the SDK routines such as UtilityInfoToLog(). Less easy from parallel jobs; what did you have in mind? One way is through before-job or after job subroutine but, if you want row-by-row logging, you will need to implement this yourself by creating a C++ function t...

It is more usual to use the target as the "before" input, because that's what's there before you attempt to apply the new data from source.

Add a Peek stage immediately after the Difference stage to determine precisely what the Difference stage is reporting.

The requirement is decidedly unclear. Which 100,000 records do you load into the output file? The first 100,000 for the day, the last 100,000 for the day, or is it based on some other criterion? What is supposed to become of source records not loaded into target on any particular day? Will the same ...

Look at the log for the sequence itself. Right near the end is an event called "summary of sequence run". This event alone will provide the information you seek.

Nirdesh has taken the trouble to type out the horizontal pivot example from the manual, whereas what you want is a vertical pivot. As noted, you can find solutions via Search of DSXchange.
