In fact, SSDT in SQL Server Setup allows you to create SSIS, SSAS and SSRS Project. I was surprised, because I have already installed it with the SQL Server setup… -) Now, I’m suddenly forwarded to a web page to download SSDT! Ok, it’s just a mistake and the menu comes when I create an SQL Server project… Go to Start Button and in the menu Microsoft SQL Server 2012, click on SQL Server Data Tools.

It’s funny to see that the command line installation uses BIDS, the old application’s name…:roll: How to run it? Setup.exe / q / ACTION= Install / FEATURES= BIDS / IACCEPTSQLSERVERLICENSETERMS In Feature Selection>Shared Features, check SQL Server Data Tools. SSDT can be installed either by the installation setup wizard or using the command line: You can use it to find the differences between 2 versions of the same database. You can develop SQL Azure database project. It’s supported for SQL Server 2005 and later. You can build, run and debug SQLCLR objects. You can create SQLCLR objects without Visual Studio. You have the full T-SQL IntelliSense to run and debug your code like scripts, Stored Procedures and other database objects.

You dont have to create a multitude of ALTER scripts … very nice! It can automatically generate the scripts to deploy new database versions. One of the main changes is the ability to perform a schema-based database design.

SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT), code-named Juneau, is based on the new Visual Studio 2010 and you can use it for all BI projects with SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS), SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) and SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS). But they are more than just relational database development tools. These new tools replace BIDS (Business Intelligence Development Studio). The “Schema and Data Comparison” feature of SQL Server 2012 Data Tools is a direct descendant of Visual Studio for Databases Professionnals (aka Data Dude) included in VSTS. In my life prior to SQL Server, I worked with Visual Studio Team System (VSTS).
