What you'll love about SQL Server 2019
SQL Server 2019 brings innovative security and compliance features, industry-leading performance, mission-critical availability, and advanced analytics to all your data workloads, now with support for big data built-in.
Intelligence over any data
SQL Server is a hub for data integration. Deliver transformational insights over structured and unstructured data with the power of SQL Server and Spark.
Choice of language and platform
Build modern applications with innovative features using your choice of language and platform. Now on Windows, Linux, and containers.
Industry-leading performance
Take advantage of breakthrough scalability, performance, and availability for mission-critical, intelligent applications, data warehouses, and data lakes.
Advanced security features
Protect data at rest and in use. SQL Server has been the least vulnerable database over the last 8 years in the NIST vulnerabilities database.
Make faster, better decisions
Power BI Report Server gives your users access to rich, interactive Power BI reports, and the enterprise reporting capabilities of SQL Server Reporting Services.
-->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
--layoutoption 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
--langargument: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 --NoWebto install the VS2017 Shell and SQL Server Data Project. - From the layouts folder run
SSDT-Setup-ENU.exe /installand 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.
