# Download SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT) for Visual Studio
[!INCLUDE [sql-asdb-asa](../includes/applies-to-version/sql-asdb-asa.md)]
**SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT)** is a modern development tool for building SQL Server relational databases, databases in Azure SQL, Analysis Services (AS) data models, Integration Services (IS) packages, and Reporting Services (RS) reports. With SSDT, you can design and deploy any SQL Server content type with the same ease as you would develop an application in Visual Studio.
## SSDT for Visual Studio 2022
### Changes in SSDT for Visual Studio 2022
The core SSDT functionality to create database projects has remained integral to Visual Studio.
> [!NOTE]
> There's no SSDT standalone installer for Visual Studio 2022.
### Install SSDT with Visual Studio 2022
If [Visual Studio 2022](/visualstudio/install/install-visual-studio?preserve-view=true&view=vs-2022) is already installed, you can edit the list of workloads to include SSDT. If you don’t have Visual Studio 2022 installed, then you can download and install [Visual Studio 2022](https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/).
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 or Reporting Services projects, you can install the appropriate [extensions](/visualstudio/ide/finding-and-using-visual-studio-extensions) from within Visual Studio with **Extensions** > **Manage Extensions** or from the [Marketplace](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/search?term=services&target=VS&category=All%20categories&vsVersion=&sortBy=Relevance).

* [Reporting Services](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ProBITools.MicrosoftReportProjectsforVisualStudio2022)
The extension for Integration Services projects is not available for Visual Studio 2022 at this time.
