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 2019 ### Changes in SSDT for Visual Studio 2019 The core SSDT functionality to create database projects has remained integral to Visual Studio. With Visual Studio 2019, the required functionality to enable Analysis Services, Integration Services, and Reporting Services projects has moved into the respective Visual Studio (VSIX) extensions only. > [!NOTE] > There's no SSDT standalone installer for Visual Studio 2019. ### Install SSDT with Visual Studio 2019 If [Visual Studio 2019](https://docs.microsoft.com/visualstudio/install/install-visual-studio?view=vs-2019) is already installed, you can edit the list of workloads to include SSDT. * For SQL Database projects, select **SQL Server Data Tools** under **Data storage and processing**. ![Data storage and processing workload](../ssdt/media/download-sql-server-data-tools-ssdt/data-workload-2019.png) * For Analysis Services, Integration Services, or Reporting Services projects, you can install the appropriate [extensions](https://docs.microsoft.com/visualstudio/ide/finding-and-using-visual-studio-extensions) from either *Tools > Extensions and Updates* or from the [Marketplace](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/search?term=services&target=VS&category=All%20categories&vsVersion=&sortBy=Relevance). If you don’t have Visual Studio 2019 installed, then you can download and install [Visual Studio 2019 Community](https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/). * For SQL Database projects, select **SQL Server Data Tools** under **Data storage and processing** in the list of workloads during installation. * For Analysis Services, Integration Services, or Reporting Services projects, you can install the appropriate [extensions](https://docs.microsoft.com/visualstudio/ide/finding-and-using-visual-studio-extensions) from either *Tools > Extensions and Updates* or from the [Marketplace](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/search?term=services&target=VS&category=All%20categories&vsVersion=&sortBy=Relevance). ## SSDT for Visual Studio 2017 ### Changes in SSDT for Visual Studio 2017 Starting with Visual Studio 2017, the functionality of creating Database Projects has been integrated into the Visual Studio installation. There's no need to install the SSDT standalone installer for the core SSDT experience. Now to create Analysis Services, Integration Services, or Reporting Services projects, you still need the SSDT standalone installer. ### Install SSDT with Visual Studio 2017 To install SSDT during [Visual Studio installation](https://docs.microsoft.com/visualstudio/install/install-visual-studio), select the **Data storage and processing** workload, and then select **SQL Server Data Tools**. If Visual Studio is already installed, you can [edit the list of workloads](https://docs.microsoft.com/visualstudio/install/modify-visual-studio) to include SSDT. ![Data storage and processing workload](../ssdt/media/download-sql-server-data-tools-ssdt/data-workload-2017.png) ### Install Analysis Services, Integration Services, and Reporting Services tools To install Analysis Services, Integration Services, and Reporting Services project support, run the [SSDT standalone installer](#ssdt-for-vs-2017-standalone-installer). The installer lists available Visual Studio instances to add SSDT tools. If Visual Studio isn't already installed, selecting **Install a new SQL Server Data Tools instance** installs SSDT with a minimal version of Visual Studio, but for the best experience, we recommend using SSDT with [the latest version of Visual Studio](https://www.visualstudio.com/downloads). ![Select AS, IS, RS](../ssdt/media/download-sql-server-data-tools-ssdt/select-services.png) ## SSDT for VS 2017 (standalone installer) [![download](../ssdt/media/download.png) Download SSDT for Visual Studio 2017 (15.9.4)](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2124518 ) > [!IMPORTANT] > * Before installing SSDT for Visual Studio 2017 (15.9.4), uninstall *Analysis Services Projects* and *Reporting Services Projects* extensions if they are already installed, and close all VS instances. > * Removed the inbox component Power Query Source for SQL Server 2017. Now we have announced Power Query Source for SQL Server 2017 & 2019 as out-of-box component, which can be downloaded [here](https://www.microsoft.com/download/details.aspx?id=100619). > * To design packages using Oracle and Teradata connectors and targeting an earlier version of SQL Server prior to SQL 2019, in addition to the [Microsoft Oracle Connector for SQL 2019](https://www.microsoft.com/download/details.aspx?id=58228) and [Microsoft Teradata Connector for SQL 2019](https://www.microsoft.com/download/details.aspx?id=100599), you need to also install the corresponding version of Microsoft Connector for Oracle and Teradata by Attunity. > * [Microsoft Connector Version 5.0 for Oracle and Teradata by Attunity targeting SQL Server 2017](https://www.microsoft.com/download/details.aspx?id=55179) > * [Microsoft Connector Version 4.0 for Oracle and Teradata by Attunity targeting SQL Server 2016](https://www.microsoft.com/download/details.aspx?id=52950) > * [Microsoft Connector Version 3.0 for Oracle and Teradata by Attunity targeting SQL Server 2014](https://www.microsoft.com/download/details.aspx?id=44582) > * [Microsoft Connector Version 2.0 for Oracle and Teradata by Attunity targeting SQL Server 2012](https://www.microsoft.com/download/details.aspx?id=29283) ### Release Notes For a complete list of changes, see [Release notes for SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT)](release-notes-ssdt.md). ### System requirements SSDT for Visual Studio 2017 has the same [system requirements](https://docs.microsoft.com/visualstudio/productinfo/vs2017-system-requirements-vs) as Visual Studio. ### Available Languages - SSDT for VS 2017 This release of **SSDT for VS 2017** can be installed in the following languages: * [Chinese (Simplified)]( https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2124518&clcid=0x804) * [Chinese (Traditional)]( https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2124518&clcid=0x404) * [English (United States)]( https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2124518&clcid=0x409) * [French]( https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2124518&clcid=0x40c) * [German]( https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2124518&clcid=0x407) * [Italian]( https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2124518&clcid=0x410) * [Japanese]( https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2124518&clcid=0x411) * [Korean]( https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2124518&clcid=0x412) * [Portuguese (Brazil)]( https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2124518&clcid=0x416) * [Russian]( https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2124518&clcid=0x419) * [Spanish]( https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2124518&clcid=0x40a) ### Considerations and limitations * You can’t install the community version offline * To upgrade SSDT, you need to follow the same path used to install SSDT. For example, if you added SSDT using the VSIX extensions, then you must upgrade via the VSIX extensions. If you installed SSDT via a separate install, then you need to upgrade using that method. ## Offline install To install SSDT when you’re not connected to the internet, follow the steps in this section. For more information, see [Create a network installation of Visual Studio 2017](https://docs.microsoft.com/visualstudio/install/create-a-network-installation-of-visual-studio). First, complete the following steps while **online**: 1. [Download the SSDT standalone installer](#ssdt-for-vs-2017-standalone-installer). 2. [Download vs_sql.exe](https://aka.ms/vs/15/release/vs_sql.exe). 3. While still online, execute one of the following commands to download all the files required for installing offline. Using the `--layout` option is the key, it downloads the actual files for the offline installation. Replace `` with the actual layouts path to save the files. 1. For a specific language, pass the locale: `vs_sql.exe --layout c:\ --lang en-us` (a single language is ~1 GB). 1. For all languages, omit the `--lang` argument: `vs_sql.exe --layout c:\` (all languages are ~3.9 GB). After completing the previous steps, the following steps below can be done **offline**: 1. Run `vs_setup.exe --NoWeb` to install the VS2017 Shell and SQL Server Data Project. 2. From the layouts folder, run `SSDT-Setup-ENU.exe /install` and select SSIS/SSRS/SSAS. * For an unattended installation, run `SSDT-Setup-ENU.exe /INSTALLALL[:vsinstances] /passive`. For available options, run `SSDT-Setup-ENU.exe /help` > [!NOTE] > If using a full version of Visual Studio 2017, create an offline folder for SSDT only, and run `SSDT-Setup-ENU.exe` from this newly created folder (don’t add SSDT to another Visual Studio 2017 offline layout). If you add the SSDT layout to an existing Visual Studio offline layout, the necessary runtime (.exe) components are not created there. ## Supported SQL versions |Project Templates|SQL Platforms Supported| |-------------------|--------------------| |Relational databases| SQL Server 2005\* - SQL Server 2017
