Do i need to install vs 2008 professional before full installation of sql server 2008 developer edition with BI Development Studio ?
On MS page we can find that ...
"Business Intelligence Development Studio is Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 with additional project types that are specific to SQL Server business intelligence. Business Intelligence Development Studio is the primary environment that you will use to develop business solutions that include Analysis Services, Integration Services, and Reporting Services projects. Each project type supplies templates for creating the objects required for business intelligence solutions, and provides a variety of designers, tools, and wizards to work with the objects"
which version of vs 2008 ? professional ? express ? standard ??
thnx in advance :P
No you don't.
If you don't have VS installed, the BI Dev Studio installation will install a VS shell called Visual Studio Premier Partner Edition. Look in Add or Remove Programs for an entry like this.
BIDS is related to SQL Server licencing, not VS and it is only provided with the Standard, Enterprise and Developer Editions.
No, If you are going to create BI projects only, then you dont need to install Visual Studio at all
When you install Sql Server, just make sure to select the Business Develpoment Studio option, then the installer will install the Studio IDE with the templates needed for creating BI projects

I want to use SSIS /BIDS project in Visual Studio 2012.
I have both Visual Studio 2010 and Visual Studio 2012 installed along with Microsoft SQL
Server 2012.
VS 2010 was installed first followed by MS SQL 2012 which got me BIDS integrated with VS 2010.
However I cannot seem to find any help on integrating BIDS with VS 2012.
I came across few question on SO related to this topic but all of them had integration with 2010 and not 2012.
I know that with MS SQL 2012 I get a SQL Server Data Tool. Does this mean that Visual Studio 2012 and BIDS cannot be integrated ?
Solution 2012:
I had to update the solution here since one of the answers I received partially solved the issue. The Answer provided by did solve the issue #user2141936 but I kept on getting an BlockMixedArchitectureInstall error while updating an existing instance.
It worked without with creating a new instance!!
Side Note :
Installing the update broken my publishing database project onto 2012 server. You need to download and install a DACFramework patch for it.
Solution 2013:
download and install http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=42313
Welcome to Microsoft Marketing Speak hell. With the 2012 release of SQL Server, the BIDS, Business Intelligence Designer Studio, plugin for Visual Studio was renamed to SSDT, SQL Server Data Tools. SSDT is available for 2010 and 2012. The problem is, there are two different products called SSDT.
There is SSDT which replaces the database designer thing which was called Data Dude in VS 2008 and in 2010 became database projects. That a free install and if you snag the web installer, that's what you get when you install SSDT. It puts the correct project templates and such into Visual Studio.
There's also the SSDT which is the "BIDS" replacement for developing SSIS, SSRS and SSAS stuff. As of March 2013, it is now available for the 2012 release of Visual Studio. The download is labeled SSDTBI_VS2012_X86.msi Perhaps that's a signal on how the product is going to be referred to in marketing materials. Download links are
Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools Business Intelligence for Visual Studio 2012 (SSIS packages target SQL Server 2012)
Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools Business Intelligence for Visual Studio 2013 (SSIS packages target SQL Server 2014)
None the less, we have Business Intelligence projects available to us in Visual Studio 2012. And the people did rejoice and did feast upon the lambs and toads and tree-sloths and fruit-bats and orangutans and breakfast cereals
Today March 6, 2013, Microsoft released SQL Server Data Tools – Business Intelligence for Visual Studio 2012 (SSDT BI) templates. With SSDT BI for Visual Studio 2012 you can develop and deploy SQL Server Business intelligence projects. Projects created in Visual Studio 2010 can be opened in Visual Studio 2012 and the other way around without upgrading or downgrading – it just works.
The download/install is named to ensure you get the SSDT templates that contain the Business Intelligence projects. The setup for these tools is now available from the web and can be downloaded in multiple languages right here: http://www.microsoft.com/download/details.aspx?id=36843
First Off, I object to this other question regarding Visual Studio 2015 as a duplicate question. How do I open SSRS (.rptproj) and SSIS (.dtproj) files in Visual Studio 2015? [duplicate]
Basically this question has the title ...Visual Studio 2012 / 2013 What about ALL the improvements and changes to VS 2015 ??? SSDT has been updated and changed. The entire way of doing various additions and updates is different.
So having vented / rant - I did open a VS 2015 update 2 instance and proceeded to open an existing solution that include a .rptproj project. Now this computer does not yet have sql server installed on it yet.
Solution for ME : Tools --> Extension and Updates --> Updates --> sql server tooling updates
Click on Update button and wait a long time and SSDT then installs and close visual studio 2015 and re-open and it works for me.
In case it is NOT found in VS 2015 for some reason : scroll to the bottom, pick your language iso https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/mt186501.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396
I just have a simple question:
I have a production server with SQL Server 2008 SP2 installed with no BIDS!
Installing just ONLY Visual Studio 2008, will allow me to create an Integration Service Project?
Or BIDS is absolutely a mandatory requirement?
Thanks!
Visual Studio 2008 will let you create an Integration service Project
So no Bids isn't required but you have to have analysis services installed i believe to get that project type.
I'm trying to learn to create .net stored procedures, triggers, etc. using SQL Server 2008 Developer. I'm guessing my edition of Visual Studio 2008 Shell was installed with SS. At any rate, when I open visual studio and try to create a new project, all that is available is Business Intelligence Project and Other Project types. Other project types only lists Visual Studio Solutions.
Question: Is Visual Studio 2008 Shell appropriate for this or do I need a full-blown version? If I need the real thing, will VS 2010 Express work and if so, do I need to uninstall VS 2008 Shell first?
I have been searching for days for a solution to this. Any ideas any one?
There are a few gremlins regarding the order in which these various components (and versions of) are installed.
If you didn't previously have Visual Studio installed, the BI Dev Studio installation will install a VS shell called Visual Studio Premier Partner Edition.
From this MSDN thread:
You should make sure that Visual Studio is still installed. If you
didn't previously have VS installed, the BI Dev Studio installation
will install a VS shell called Visual Studio Premier Partner Edition.
Look in Add or Remove Programs for an entry like this. If you don't
find any entry for Visual Studio go to the location for SQL Server
setup and run .\Tools\Setup\vs_setup.exe. This will install the VS
Shell. After this is installed repair the BI Studio installation by
running the following from the command line from the .\Tools
directory: start /wait setup.exe /qb
REINSTALL=SQL_WarehouseDevWorkbench REINSTALLMODE=OMUS
Personally, I'd first try uninstalling the BIDS Shell version, and then installing Express (following above instructions if the extra project types don't appear).
I only have SSMS 2008 Express on my dev machine. What tools are there that I can use to develop, maintain, and manage server side SSRS reports on this machine?
You need BIDS - Business Intelligence Development Studio, which is the Visual Studio shell for developing reports that target SQL Reporting Services, and is included as part of Reporting Services install.
You can download SQL Express with Advanced Services from here. This version of SQL Express includes Reporting Services.
sqlserver express may have some sp things. there's one tool is for ssrs development. you can check it out.
I don't get the Business Intelligence Project type at all when I try to create a new project and I have looked for two days for a workaround. Is it just not possible to do this in VS2008?
This website says you can only build basic import and export SSIS packages through Management Studio for any edition below Standard. Therefore, you won't be able to find SSIS in VS2008.
You can develop Reporting Services reports using SQL Server Express with Advanced Services in Visual Studios as outlined here.
