Visual Studio 2010 Server Explorer Data Connections - visual-studio

I have installed Visual Studio 2010 and I'm following this LINK but when I reach Step #3 I stuck. How to overcome this problem?. Thanks.
Install Oracle Data Access Components (ODAC) 11.2.0.3 or later from OTN. The ODAC download includes Oracle Developer Tools for Visual Studio and ODP.NET that will be used in this lab.

Is a licensed version of Visual Studio required for SSIS solution?

Is it possible to open a SSIS solution using Microsoft's free tools (Visual Studio Team Explorer and SQL Server Data Tools) or does it require a full installation of Visual Studio?
I am trying to do so with just the free tools and am getting an error saying that "this versino of Visual Studio is unable to open the following projects" then another one saying the solution I have opened is under source control but not currently configured for integrated source control in visual studio.
We have other users who use the full version of Visual Studio 2017 and it works fine so I am wondering if this is just a limitation of the free products offered by Microsoft.
To edit SQL Server 2005 SSIS packages, you need Visual Studio 2005 and installation of Business Intelligence Designer Studio, BIDS. This required a license, developer edition was sufficient, to access the tooling.
SQL Server 2008 & SQL Server 2008 R2 would install into Visual Studio 2008. This too required a SQL Server license as the media only existed on the server media.
SQL Server 2012 would install into both Visual Studio 2010 and Visual Studio 2012. This was delivered in both physical media installations and downloadable tooling which was rebranded to SQL Server Data Tools- BI Edition, now just SQL Server Data Tools and the components were just licensed via click through agreement.
SQL Server 2014 installs into Visual Studio 2013 and was now only available through the download of SSDT.
SQL Server 2016 added a new twist into the mix. It installed into Visual Studio 2015 but it could now create/edit/target SQL Server 2012, 2014 and 2016 packages. This was huge as until this point, as a consultant I would have required 5 different versions of the "same" program on my machine. Now I'd only need 3.
SQL Server 2017 installs SSDT in both Visual Studio 2015 and Visual Studio 2017.
I assume SQL Server 2019 will similarly target VS 2017 and VS 109.
Across all of these versions, if you didn't have Visual Studio installed, the installer would install the Visual Studio shell on your machine so that the project templates would work.
Last I knew, neither Visual Studio Community Edition nor VS Code will work with the SSDT templates so be sure and open the correct product to work with SSIS projects (.dtproj)
The warning/error about "under source control but not currently configured" smells like something is awry with how you have the TFS hook installed but I can't comment on that.
Download and install SSDT 2017 for Visual Studio
You can verify the status of your SSDT installation for Visual Studio by going to the Help, About Microsoft Visual Studio menu and looking for "SQL Server Integration Services." With ... 2017? you can now do a piecemeal install and only pick SQL Server Data Tools (database projects) or SSAS/SSIS/SSRS. Previously, the SSDT-BI install was trio of SS_S and SSDT (no BI) was the database projects.
Previous answer on where SSDT-BI is
You have at lease two options:
Use Visual Studio Community Edition together with SSDT. Still, you have to check its License terms with your Legal department - it might be not legal to use Community Edition in Enterprise.
Use Visual Studio Isolated Shell together with SSDT. More instructions on how to install it. As far as I know, it is legal to use it for debugging.
The VS Isolated Shell is usually installed with SQL Server 2014/16.

Oracle not available in Visual Studio 2013

I have installed Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate on a machine which already had Oracle data provider for .net (odp.net) and I wanted to use Entity Framework with Oracle but Oracle connection is not available:
The odp.net was working with Visual Studio 2013 Professional before I uninstalled it.
You need to install Oracle Developer Tools for Visual Studio to use any of the database related designers in Visual Studio:

Connect to a database using Python in Microsoft Visual Studio

I am using Microsoft Visual Studio 2013 Shell (Integrated) with Microsoft Python Tools for Visual Studio installed.
I have connected an existing database by going to Tools -> Connect to a Database.... I can now see my database in server explorer.
How do I access that database from my python application? Should I use pyodbc? Am I already connected to the database?
This is not possible through Server Explorer.
We don't have any Server Explorer integration in PTVS yet

what is the proper install order for visual studio 2012 and SQL Server Management Studio 2012 on win7?

I am preparing to do some web development against a SQL Server 2012 server on a fresh install of win 7 x64 development VM.
What should I install first, visual studio or SSMS?
This is my favorite order:
Windows update before installing anything.
SQL Server 2012
If you have SP1 integrated with you ISO file, skip to step 4.
If you have both SP1 and U5 integrated with your ISO file, skip to step 5
Unselect SQL Server Data Tools during installation (step 8 will install the VS 2012 templates instead of these old 2010 ones)
SQL Server 2012 SP1
SQL Server 2012 SP1 U5
Visual Studio 2012
If you have U3 integrated with you ISO file, skip to step 7.
Unselect SQL Server Data Tools during installation because we'll install the updated bits in step 7
Visual Studio 2012 U3
SQL Server Data Tools - BI (adds BI project templates to Visual Studio 2012)
SQL Server Data Tools (allows you to manage SQL Server 2012 from within visual Studio 2012)
Windows Update
ReSharper
StyleCop
SQL ToolBelt
Neither - you can install them in any order. While you do get the occasional question about it in various different forums, I have done this and never had an issue.
SQL does have a Visual Studio dependency (formerly) called BIDS, but Visual Studio can install over/around this no problem.
Note that this answer is correct when using the initial SQL 2012 release (as that was the latest edition when this question was asked). Subsequent releases may have changed things. I have made this answer CW to encourage others to edit it as necessary to include info about later versions.
I don't know if there is a different way for VMs but on Windows we used to install SQL Server first, as some of the configurations of Visual studio conflict with SQL Server configurations if it was installed before
No direct dependencies found between the two components, installing Visual Studio first then ensure that .NET Framework installed properly is my approach, then installing SQL Server, but in all cases the SQL Server installation installs the following software components - 2008:
NET Framework 3.5
SQL Server Native Client
SQL Server Setup support files
My approach:
Visual Studio 2008.
Visual Studio SP1.
SQL Server 2008.
Run Windows updates.
