The core SSDT functionality to create database projects has remained integral to Visual Studio.

With Visual Studio 2019, the required functionality to enable Analysis Services, Integration Services, and Reporting Services projects has moved into the respective Visual Studio (VSIX) extensions only.

Note

There's no SSDT standalone installer for Visual Studio 2019.

Install SSDT with Visual Studio 2019

If Visual Studio 2019 is already installed, you can edit the list of workloads to include SSDT. If you don’t have Visual Studio 2019 installed, then you can download and install Visual Studio 2019 Community.

To modify the installed Visual Studio workloads to include SSDT, use the Visual Studio Installer.

1. Launch the Visual Studio Installer. In the Windows Start menu, you can search for 'installer'.

2. In the installer, select for the edition of Visual Studio that you want to add SSDT to, and then choose Modify.

3. Select SQL Server Data Tools under Data storage and processing in the list of workloads.

For Analysis Services, Integration Services, or Reporting Services projects, you can install the appropriate extensions from within Visual Studio with Extensions > Manage Extensions or from the Marketplace.

SSDT for Visual Studio 2017

Changes in SSDT for Visual Studio 2017

Starting with Visual Studio 2017, the functionality of creating Database Projects has been integrated into the Visual Studio installation. There's no need to install the SSDT standalone installer for the core SSDT experience.

Now to create Analysis Services, Integration Services, or Reporting Services projects, you still need the SSDT standalone installer.

Install SSDT with Visual Studio 2017

To install SSDT during Visual Studio installation, select the Data storage and processing workload, and then select SQL Server Data Tools.

If Visual Studio is already installed, use the Visual Studio Installer to modify the installed workloads to include SSDT.

1. Launch the Visual Studio Installer. In the Windows Start menu, you can search for 'installer'.

2. In the installer, select for the edition of Visual Studio that you want to add SSDT to, and then choose Modify.

3. Select SQL Server Data Tools under Data storage and processing in the list of workloads.

Install Analysis Services, Integration Services, and Reporting Services tools

To install Analysis Services, Integration Services, and Reporting Services project support, run the SSDT standalone installer.

The installer lists available Visual Studio instances to add SSDT tools. If Visual Studio isn't already installed, selecting Install a new SQL Server Data Tools instance installs SSDT with a minimal version of Visual Studio, but for the best experience, we recommend using SSDT with the latest version of Visual Studio.

SSDT for VS 2017 (standalone installer)

Important

• Before installing SSDT for Visual Studio 2017 (15.9.6), uninstall Analysis Services Projects and Reporting Services Projects extensions if they are already installed, and close all VS instances.
• Removed the inbox component Power Query Source for SQL Server 2017. Now we have announced Power Query Source for SQL Server 2017 & 2019 as out-of-box component, which can be downloaded here.
• To design packages using Oracle and Teradata connectors and targeting an earlier version of SQL Server prior to SQL 2019, in addition to the Microsoft Oracle Connector for SQL 2019 and Microsoft Teradata Connector for SQL 2019, you need to also install the corresponding version of Microsoft Connector for Oracle and Teradata by Attunity.

Release Notes

For a complete list of changes, see Release notes for SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT).

System requirements

SSDT for Visual Studio 2017 has the same system requirements as Visual Studio.

Available Languages - SSDT for VS 2017

This release of SSDT for VS 2017 can be installed in the following languages:

Considerations and limitations

• You can’t install the community version offline

• To upgrade SSDT, you need to follow the same path used to install SSDT. For example, if you added SSDT using the VSIX extensions, then you must upgrade via the VSIX extensions. If you installed SSDT via a separate install, then you need to upgrade using that method.

Offline install

To install SSDT when you’re not connected to the internet, follow the steps in this section. For more information, see Create a network installation of Visual Studio 2017.

First, complete the following steps while online:

1. Download the SSDT standalone installer.

2. Download vs_sql.exe.

3. While still online, execute one of the following commands to download all the files required for installing offline. Using the --layout option is the key, it downloads the actual files for the offline installation. Replace <filepath> with the actual layouts path to save the files.

   1. For a specific language, pass the locale: vs_sql.exe --layout c:<filepath> --lang en-us (a single language is ~1 GB).
   2. For all languages, omit the --lang argument: vs_sql.exe --layout c:<filepath> (all languages are ~3.9 GB).

After completing the previous steps, the following steps below can be done offline:

1. Run vs_setup.exe --NoWeb to install the VS2017 Shell and SQL Server Data Project.

2. From the layouts folder, run SSDT-Setup-ENU.exe /install and select SSIS/SSRS/SSAS.a. For an unattended installation, run SSDT-Setup-ENU.exe /INSTALLALL[:vsinstances] /passive.

For available options, run SSDT-Setup-ENU.exe /help

Note

If using a full version of Visual Studio 2017, create an offline folder for SSDT only, and run SSDT-Setup-ENU.exe from this newly created folder (don’t add SSDT to another Visual Studio 2017 offline layout). If you add the SSDT layout to an existing Visual Studio offline layout, the necessary runtime (.exe) components are not created there.

Visual Studio 2013 is a version of the software that lets you create new software apps for using on your computer. It's essentially a newer version of Visual Basic designed by Microsoft for use on Windows computers.

Have you ever found yourself wishing that there was an easier way to use your computer? Maybe you came up with an idea for an app, and then life got in the way. Designing and creating a new app can take a lot of time, and you may find that you lack the experience necessary to create the exact design that you want. With Visual Studio 2013, you can get some help designing and building an app you can name.

Though the program does help you with each step of your app, you should keep in mind that this is generally best for those who have more experience. The interface may look confusing, and you'll likely have some problems with coding as a beginner. If you have coding skills and just need a little extra help writing code for a new app, this is a good option.

Visual Studio 2013 actually gives you several different options regarding the type of apps you can design. You can design an app for use with Windows forms, WPF apps, apps for use on consoles, or even apps that work with your browser. The very top of the program features a toolbar that lets you easily access all the settings and features in the program. There is even a settings menu for basic or advanced users, and the program lets you import your settings from previous apps too.

Unlike similar programs that hold you responsible for each decision and change you make, Visual Studio 2013 has a built-in checker. The checker will look for any mistakes that will keep your finished app from running properly. It can even automatically correct any mistakes that it comes across to ensure that your final app runs exactly the way you need it to run.

While Visual Studio 2013 comes with customized settings and advanced features for experts and professionals, it's really best for those who have more experience. If you never coded or designed apps before, it may take weeks or even months before you feel comfortable and confident using Visual Studio 2013 for your app designs.

Pros:

• Helps you design and build apps for use on computers and consoles
• Built-in checker looks for mistakes in your codes and designs
• Can automatically correct any mistakes that it identifies
• Features both basic and expert settings
• Can customize the settings and even import in your old settings

Cons:

Visual Studio 2013 Desktop Download

• Newer versions of the software are now available
• Designed for use on Windows computers and devices
• Requires a lot of hard drive space
• Designed for professionals and those with more experience
• May require weeks of use before you feel familiar with the program
