Hello, Visual Studio for Mac is available just since a few month, you can not expect to have already all features; so no SSDT for Mac, yet. When Installing SSDT for Visual Studio 2017, I normally select all the options or even just the SQL Server Integration Services, many times only to have it return in failure. The errors will vary with most of the time the return is that a path is too long. Setting up the dark theme in SQL Server management studio September 28, 2017 by Bojan Petrovic In SSMS 2016 Microsoft introduced visual setting option to choose between Blue and Light color theme. Visual studio 2015 free download - Visual Studio Professional 2015, Visual Studio Enterprise 2015, Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015, and many more programs.
-->SQL Server Data Tools is a modern development tool for building SQL Server relational databases, Azure SQL databases, 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.
Changes in SSDT for Visual Studio 2019
With Visual Studio 2019, the required functionality to enable Analysis Services, Integration Services, and Reporting Services projects has moved into the respective Visual Studio extensions. The core SSDT functionality to create Database Projects has remained integral to Visual Studio (you need to select the Data storage, and processing workload during install). There's no more standalone SSDT installation required.
If you already have a license to Visual Studio 2019:
- For SQL Database Projects, install the Data storage and Processing workload for Visual Studio
- For Analysis Services, Integration Services or Reporting Services projects, install the appropriate extension(s) from the marketplace
If you don’t already have a license to Visual Studio 2019:
- Install Visual Studio 2019 Community
- Install the Analysis Services, Integration Services, or Reporting Services extension as appropriate
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. To create Integration Services/Analysis Services/Reporting Services projects, you still need the SSDT standalone installer.
- For Database Projects, install the Data Storage and Processing workload for Visual Studio
- For Analysis Services, Integration Services or Reporting Services projects, download and install SQL Server Data Tools
Install SSDT with Visual Studio 2017
To install SSDT during Visual Studio installation, 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 to include SSDT:
Install Analysis Services, Integration Services, and Reporting Services tools
To install AS, IS, and RS project support, run the SSDT standalone installer.
The installer lists available Visual Studio instances to add the SSDT tools to. If Visual Studio isn't 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.
SSDT for VS 2017 (standalone installer)
Important
- Before installing SSDT for Visual Studio 2017 (15.9.2), uninstall Analysis Services Projects and Reporting Services Projects extensions if they are already installed, and close all VS instances.
- Please use SSDT for Visual Studio 2017 (15.8.0) or the previous versions for designing SSIS packages that contain Teradata Source/Destination. SSDT for Visual Studio 2017 after 15.8.0 can’t design SSIS packages that contain Teradata Source/Destination by Attunity.
Version Information
Release number: 15.9.2Build Number: 14.0.16194.0Release date: July 17, 2019
For a complete list of changes, see the Release notes for SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT).
SSDT for Visual Studio 2017 has the same system requirements as Visual Studio.
Available Languages - SSDT for VS 2017
This release of SSDT for VS 2017 can be installed in the following languages:
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.
First, complete the following steps while online:
Download the SSDT standalone installer.
Download vs_sql.exe.
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<filepath>
with the actual layouts path to save the files.- For a specific language, pass the locale:
vs_sql.exe --layout c:<filepath> --lang en-us
(a single language is ~1 GB). - For all languages, omit the
--lang
argument:vs_sql.exe --layout c:<filepath>
(all languages are ~3.9 GB).
- For a specific language, pass the locale:
Execute
SSDT-Setup-ENU.exe /layout c:<filepath>
to extract the SSDT payload into the same<filepath>
location where the VS2017 files were downloaded. This action ensures that all files from both are combined into a single layouts folder.
After completing the previous steps, the following steps below can be done offline:
- Run
vs_setup.exe --NoWeb
to install the VS2017 Shell and SQL Server Data Project. - 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 an unattended installation, run
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.
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 VSIX, then upgrade via VSIX. If you installed SSDT via a separate install, then you need to upgrade using that method.
