How do you create an SSIS package with SQL Server 2019/Visual Studio 2019? I don't see any BI options for SSIS, SSRS, or SSAS when creating a new project in Visual Studio. I have the free SQL Server 2019 Developer edition installed. I also have the Community Visual Studio 2019 free version installed. I installed SSDT with Visual Studio 2019. I selected SQL Server Data Tools under Data storage and processing in the list of workloads. On the Windows Start menu, I searched for Visual Studio (SSDT) but I it doesn't look like Visual Studio (SSDT) is installed. I tried uninstalling and re-installing SSDT with Visual Studio Installer (SQL Server Data Tools under Data storage and processing in the list of workloads). I also installed SSIS in Visual Studio 2019 under Extensions/Manage Extensions.
Select new project/"clear all" the filters/type "integration" in search - and then the miracle "Integration services projects" appear from the 3x10e172 different alternatives..
Used to be under "business intelligence"--that's gone, categories not required when google does your thinking.
This is explained right at the start of the documentation:
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 is already installed, you can edit the list of workloads to include SSDT. If you don’t have Visual Studio 2019 installed, then you can download and install Visual Studio 2019 Community.
For SQL Database projects, select SQL Server Data Tools under Data storage and processing in the list of workloads.
For Analysis Services, Integration Services, or Reporting Services projects, you can install the appropriate extensions from either Tools > > Extensions and Updates or from the Marketplace.
Analysis Services
Integration Services
Reporting Services
Once your installed the needed extension, create the appropriate project type, and then you can start making the appropriate files in that project.

A few weeks ago I was cleaning up an old server which one of my colleagues still uses for SSIS packages with Visual Studio 2008. I uninstalled VSTA 2008, because I didn't think we'd need it, but I was wrong.
Now we can't open Script Tasks anymore and I can't seem to find the setup to reinstall VSTA 2008.
It doesn't seem to be included in Visual Studio 2008 either. There's only a setup for VSTOR, but I don't need that.
So the only hope I have is that somebody somewhere knows where I can get a setup of VSTA from over 10 years ago.
The VSTA (Visual Studio Tools for application) is installed with the Business Intelligence development studio 2008 which is a part of the SQL Server 2008 installation. It is not related to Visual Studio installation.
You can try to repair the SQL Server installation or to remove and reinstall the SSIS and Business Intelligence Development Studio features:
How do I enable Integration Services (SSIS) in SQL Server 2008?
Also check the following links they contains helpful information:
Downloading Microsoft Visual Studio Tools for Applications 2.0 -ENU
How to install Visual Studio Tools for Applications?
VSTA setup and configuration troubles for SSIS 2008 and R2 installations
After searching for a standalone installation of VSTA SDK 2.0 enu 9.0 on the Microsoft website it looks like the download link is removed and only 2012+ versions can be found.
I have recently installed SSMS 2017 and Visual Studio 2017 Community edition. However, I cannot see an option to create Integration Services projects. Can you please guide me how to proceed.
Thanks,

What #Nick.McDermaid mentioned is true. To eliminate any confusion, during the visual studio installation there is a feature called SQL Server Data Tools; this will not perform a full SSDT installation.
Based on this Microsoft article:
For most users, SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT) is installed during Visual Studio installation. Installing SSDT using the Visual Studio installer adds the base SSDT functionality, so you still need to run the SSDT standalone installer to get AS (Analysis Services), IS (Integration Services), and RS (Reporting Services) tools.
To download SSDT you can follow the link above.
It worked for me only after I had deinstalled the older versions of Visual Studio for Applications 2014 and 2015 before I updated the ones for 2017 and 2019.
I am in process of building SSIS packages and i am totally lost with the confusion associated with this.
should we need Visual studio to create the SSIS packages?
should the SQL server data tools be sufficient to create the
packages?
Is Visual Studio free to be downloaded?
When we install SQL server data tools, Will that install Visual
Studio as well?
Thanks

SQL Server Data Tools includes Visual Studio with Business Intelligence plugin so you do not have to install Visual Studio additionally. For SQL Server 2012 Data Tools is included to installation disk (this will install Visual Studio 2010).
For SQL Server 2014, there is no Data Tools with installation disk, you have to download and install it manually: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=42313.
I recently upgraded from Visual Studio 2010 to Visual Studio 2013.
Most of my projects could be opened with VS2013 except for a SQL Server 2008 Database project (which is listed as incompatible).
VS2013 project templates doesn't include the SQL Server 2008 Database project so I'm wondering if those projects type are still suppose to be supported in VS 2013.
According to the Visual Studio 2013 Compatibility page on MSDN,
For Visual Studio 2010 Database (.dbproj)
If you convert the project to a SQL Server Data Tools Database
project, you can open it in Visual Studio 2013. However, Visual Studio
2013 doesn’t support these artifacts: unit tests data-generation plans
data-comparison files custom rule extensions for static code analysis
server.sqlsettings .sqlcmd files custom deployment extensions partial
projects (.files) If you install SQL Server Data Tools, you can open
the project in Visual Studio 2010 SP1 after the conversion. For more
information, see Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools.
It does not mention anything about your version -- Sql Server 2008.
Try installing the SQL Server Data Tools - October 2013 Update. Not sure if that will fix it though, because the Sql Server Data Tools download page lists only Visual Studio 2010 and 2012.
I'm studying Sql Server Data Tools (SSDT). Do I need a Visual Studio 2010 / 2012? Can I use a express edition?
SSDT replaces Business Intelligence Development Studio (BIDS) from SQL Server 2008, regarding Integration Services, Analysis Services and Reporting Services. When you install SQL Server 2012, you get an option to install SSDT. In this case, SSDT will be installed in an empty shell of Visual Studio 2010, with nothing but the BI project types (Integration Services project, Analysis Services project, etc.)
If you are talking about the non-BI related features of SSDT (Database Project, Database unit testing, etc.) you need a pre-installed version of Visual Studio 2010 or 2012, Express edition is not supported.
Visual Studio Express Edition is not supported by SSDT.

SSDT with VS 2015 can be installed without having Visual Studio, and SSDT will install Visual Studio with the limited features needed for SSDT, HOWEVER you must be sure to install .NET Framework 4.5 before trying to install SSDT. If .NET Framework 4.5 is not present, the installer will fail immediately, and most likely will tell you that you need Visual Studio. I ran into this while trying to install on Windows Server 2008 R2, and everything worked well once .NET Framework 4.5 was installed.
SSDT is included in most Visual Studio 2013 Express editions, and for earlier versions of Visual Studio you can download a free standalone install from the web. All of the available install options are listed on the download page. Take a look there and hopefully one of the options will suit you.
