With the announcement of VS2013 i need to be able to have the following:
-Main Development IDE: Visual Studio 2013
-Integration Services with SQL Server 2008 and SQL Server 2008/R2.
-Integration Services with SQL Server 2012.
Unfortunately i cant upgrade all my SQL Servers to the latest release so i have to maintain a diversified dev env in my laptop.
What i need to do in order to have all the above in one machine?
Probably this is the answer :(
Interoperability and Coexistence (Integration Services)
Also a post made yesterday specifically for SQL Server 2012/2014
SQL Server Data Tools – Business Intelligence downloads
Separate install for each SSIS version i need to develop for.
So it may be like:
Full Visual Studio 2013 for all development except SSIS
VS2012 Shell for SSIS SQL Server 2012
VS2008 Shell for SSIS SQL Server 2008 and 2008/R2

I have Visual Studio 2010 installed on my Windows 10 PC. My website is on a shared hosting environment and utilizes a SQL Server 2012 database.
The hosting provider doesn't have web interface to manage database so I connect from the Visual Studio 2010 itself for management purposes.
Right now I am able to connect to the database and run my website locally but when I attempt to open table definition, I get this error:
This server version is not supported. Only servers up to Microsoft SQL Server 2008 are supported
Before upgrading to Windows 10, I was able to edit/add tables from Visual Studio 2010 Server explorer but now limited to read purposes only. This Windows 10 and Visual Studio is completely fresh install with nothing kept or saved from earlier windows version. I don't remember if I installed any SQL Server 2012 tools in earlier windows for managing the database from Server Explorer in Visual Studio.
I have searched a lot and even tried installing SQL Server 2012 Express which failed. Now, I am downloading SQL Server 2012 Management Studio from the same link to see if that will work. It will download in an hour or so but I don't remember downloading it earlier so wanted to ask you what can be done.
All I want is the ability to add/modify tables of SQL Server 2012 database from Server Explorer in Visual Studio 2010. Please tell me how can that be done and which tools are required for this purpose.
I usually use Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 for system development and I always use the built-in SQL Server Express in Visual Studio to create and manage a database.
Currently, I'm learning Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio 2008 to create and manage a database.
I got some questions here:
What is the differences of the database in built-in sql server in Visual Studio & SQL Server Management Studio? Such as features and limitations.
Will it be better to create and manage database in SQL Server Management Studio instead of the built-in visual studio database?
I encounter a problem which is unable to upload my built-in Visual Studio SQL database to the web server in the past. So is creating database in SQL Server Management Studio much ideal for uploading database file to web server?
Thanks in advance.
Te latest versions of SSMS say "powered by Visual Studio" so your question could be moot. I think using SSMS gets you slightly closer to the database server itself -- which if you are doing admin too may be a good thing.
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.
Useful question here
A couple of months ago, I uninstalled Business Logic from my machine as I did not need it. Now I want to work on some reporting, but I am unable to find the Business intelligence tool in my Visual Studio 2010 install.
How can I download and load it up into Visual Studio 2010 or SSMS for use please?
BIDS (SQL Server 2008/2008 R2) and SQL Server Data Tools (SQL Server 2012) are both part of the SQL Server installer (not Express Edition), not Visual Studio.
If you're using SQL Server 2008/08 R2, the Business Intelligence tools will be installed in a separate "version" of Visual Studio, which uses the Visual Studio 2008 shell. This means that if you're running VS 2010, you'll actually appear to have 2 versions of VS installed, VS 2010 for all your normal dev and VS 2008, which will contain the BI project types only).
If it's SQL Server 2012 that you're using, the BI project types will be installed using the VS 2010 shell, so they'll be accessible when you boot up VS 2010.
Run through your SQL Server installation process and choose the relevant BI components (Analysis Services/Reporting Services/Integration Services) on the "Feature Installation" step of the installation wizard.
When I try to build a project in Visual Studio 2005 that has a .dtproj file, I get the error message:
Make sure the application for the project type (.dtproj) is installed.
This project was build on another system, but even after installing SQL Server 2005 & and SQL SP3, it still does not build.
You need to install the Business Intelligence Studio that is a part of the SQL Server Installation.
You may be missing development tools from your installation of SQL Server.
On my workstation at work I have VS.NET 2005, 2008 and 2010 loaded and needed to modify a package created in a 2005 environment. I only had SQL Server 2008 installed and therefore the BIDS environment for 2008 SSIS development. I had to go back and get the install for SQL Server 2005 and installed only the Integration Services component (instead of the entire SQL Server 2005 setup) and it resolved the issue mentioned above.
