I installed Visual Studio 2019 and the SSIS package extensions and created a new project. I'm able to add my SQL Server as a Connection Manager with no issues, but when I then drag a Data Flow Task to the package and drag a Source Assistant into that, I'm not able to select my SQL Server.
The source types shown are Excel, Flat File, and Oracle. If I uncheck the "show only installed source types" then I see SQL Server but I can't pick it.
The interesting thing is on this same box I've been editing an SSIS project with Visual Studio 2017 so I know the SQL Server stuff works fine. However, if I open that existing project none of the connection managers show up in Visual Studio 2019.
Answer: You need the new Microsoft® OLE DB Driver 18 for SQL Server
Context:
This was a s*** show right out of the box (see the comments on GitHub).
https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/visualstudio-docs/issues/2592
Apparently SSIS was not included in the installer and so it does not install even when you select the Data Storage and Processing package in the installer. SSIS currently can only be installed by downloading via the Marketplace here:
SQL Server Integration Services Projects - Visual Studio Market Place
Under the known issues section, item 1:
SQL Server Native Client (SQLNCLI11.1) is deprecated and not installed
by VS2019. We recommend upgrading to the new Microsoft OLE DB driver
for SQL Server. If you want to continue using SQL Server Native
Client, you can download and install it from here.

I have an one data transfer package with .DTSX extension.
I want to edit that package.
Please help me.
DTS was the old extension name used for Integration Services packages.
DTSX is new (I guess my new! refers to SQL2005)
With recent releases SQL Server introduced SQL Server Data Tools which is very similar to Visual Studio but concentrated on SQL Server tasks.
SQL Server Business Intelligence developers can use SQL Server Data Tools for creating and editing Analysis Services, Integration Services and Reporting Services solutions
Here is a download link
Follow the following steps:
Open BIDS or SSDT (it depends which version of sql server development tool you have installed)
Create a new Sql Server Integration Project
copy the .dtsx package by pressing Ctrl + c and go back to the newly created project , you will see the portion "Package" in Solution Explorer , Paste your copied package here by selecting the "Package" header.
double click to this copied package, you can now edit your package.
So I am attempting to run SSIS packages that were developed with SQL2012, in VS13. Whenever I attempt to run the package it pops up saying that the package was upgraded. I have confirmed this upgrade by observing a change in the "PackageFormatVersion" in a text editor.
I have found this solution from microsoft: In the property pages for an Integration Services project, on the General tab of Configuration Properties, select the TargetServerVersion property and choose SQL Server 2016, SQL Server 2014, or SQL Server 2012.
However, when i click on my property pages I do not have a general tab (or any place that has an option to select which version of sql server i am using).
I have included an image of what my property pages look like. Also it is a dtproj file that I am using.

Only the Visual Studio 2015 editor allows you to specify whether your integration services project is built upon the SQL Server 2012, SQL Server 2014 or SQL Server 2016 technology.
Using any up version tooling results in the package being upgraded in place. So, what you are experiencing is normal.
If you have a full installation of SQL Server on your machine, you can run the packages from the commandline and while they will still upgrade to run, that upgrade will only be in memory and the original file on disk will remain at the earlier version.
On the SQL Server installation media, you need to specify that you want Integration Services Service installed. That is the only way to run SSIS packages outside of Visual Studio/SSDT.
I'm getting this error while importing bacpac file from windows azure
TITLE: Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio
------------------------------
Count not load schema model from package. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Dac)
------------------------------
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
Internal Error. The internal target platform type SqlAzureDatabaseSchemaProvider
does not support schema file version '2.5'.
Most of the help online suggests upgrading SSDT, but I have the latest version of SSDT for VS2012 already installed
Update - with a number of new features including Query Store, it's now best to use the SQL Server Management Studio Preview to import. In some cases this will be necessary given updated features in the bacpac file. You can install this from its download page. On that download page choose "Download SQL Server Management Studio Preview" to install.
Original Answer
The best solution is to install SQL Server Management Studio 2014 from the Express download page. On that download page choose "MgmtStudio 32BIT\SQLManagementStudio_x86_ENU.exe" installer when clicking the download link. SSMS 2014 contains a more recent DacFx version that supports version 2.5 and has full support for SQL Server 2005-2014 dbs, along with Azure DBs.
A few notes on DacFx / SqlPackage:
Installing the latest SSDT won't fix the issue since SSDT no longer installs Dac DLLs in a shared location. Instead it installs them under the Visual Studio install dir (C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\Common7\IDE\Extensions\Microsoft\SQLDB\DAC\120).
To update DacFx binaries used in SSMS to the latest version you must install the DacFramework.msi directly. You can download the latest version for 2014 here (this will update the location used by SSMS 2014), or if you have to use SSMS 2012 the last version compatible with that is found here.
SqlPackage.exe does support bacpacs. You need to use the Import/Export actionsfor bacpacs rather than the Extract/Publish actions used for dacpacs.
It will not directly restore. As you already install "SQL Server Data Tools", please check links.

It looks to me that something has recently changed Azure side to break even using SQL Server 2014 Management Studio. I had to install the Cumulative Update 5 onto SQL Server 2014 Management Studio to get this working again. Looks like Cumulative Update 6 is out so you could also try that.
I've updated my SQL Server 2012 with SP2 and then I could actually Import BACPAC files from Azure. You can try that.
I understand that this has been there for a while but those who have still this problem, this happens because of having an older version of Microsoft® SQL Server® Data-Tier Application Framework.
Installing the latest version solved the problem.
At the time I am writing this is the latest and I was using an older which was incompatible with the bacpac file I was trying to import.

I have no SQL Server Data Tool in Visual Studio 2013.
SSDT should be included in VS2013? Source
How can I install them?
I tried to install BI for VS 2013 but still don't have any SQL functions in VS.
Make sure Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools is checked when you install VS.
SQL tools like schema comparison are in SQL menu. SQL menu is not visible till any database project OR .scmp file OR file where its context is available is open.

Update
Got this link on MSDN:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/data/hh297027
Download latest VS2013 Update 2 through extension update or by link http://www.visualstudio.com/downloads/download-visual-studio-vs
For SSDT-BI for VS 2013 install:

after installation restart Visual studio.
Lets hope, it should work then.
I don't have SQL menu, however I found it in Tools -> SQL Server
I'm running Visual Studio 2010 SP1 Premium on Windows 7, and am trying to create SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) Reports. I've downloaded the new SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT) from http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/data/hh297027 and installed/restarted. If I go into VS Help->About, I can see "Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools 10.3.20225.0" in the list of installed products. However, SSDT doesn't seem to be showing up in the "New Project" window, and if I try to open existing SSRS 2005 reports projects (created in BIDS/VS 2005) it says "'Reports.rptproj' cannot be opened because its project type (.rptproj) is not supported by this version of the application. To open it, please use a version that supports this type of project".
Am I incorrect in my impression that VS/SSDT does not require SQL Server being installed? Is there some other software, package, or step that I'm missing in installing SSDT?
For SQL Server 2012 SSRS, the functionality of BIDS is REPLACED by SSDT. If you are working with SQL Server 2008 R2 (or earlier) SSRS, then you'll want to use BIDS from that version of SQL Server.
When you install SSDT, it includes templates for BI projects (i.e. SSAS, SSIS, SSRS). SSDT can be installed as a stand-alone application, or, if you have VS2010 SP1 on your machine, then SSDT will install inside of VS2010.
For the OLTP (including offline) database projects, there is NO template. Rather there is a new View named 'SQL Server Object Explorer'. For more about the latter, see my blog post.
The new project type is found under Other Languages->SQL Server-> SQL Sever Database Project.
Do not confuse that with the old to be deprecated projects under Database->SQL Server->Advanced
The BIDS part of SSDT is sort of a separate install. (although they've tried making it seem like one install.) See this on information about why one or the other might not be installed:
