I have Visual Studio Pro 2015 installed, SQL Server 2012 Management Studio but if I run Select ##Version I get SQL Server 2008 R2 - now my ? is....how can I get BIDS so that I can create SSIS packages?
I think you will have to download SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT) separately from this link - https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/mt204009.aspx
This release supports SQL Server 2016 through SQL Server 2005

The question is can I use Visual Studio 2019 with the most current SSIS to create SSIS packages for SQL Server 2008? Or do I need to download an earlier version of Visual Studio?
I do not have access yet to execute on the server I am waiting for this and just doing some research to get tools ready in the mean time. So I have not tried anything yet.
You have to install SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT) for Visual Studio 2019.
This is the link
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/ssdt/download-sql-server-data-tools-ssdt?redirectedfrom=MSDN&view=sql-server-ver15
Says that you can't.
Supported SQL versions
Integration Services packages SQL Server 2012 - SQL Server 2019
Unfortunately, SSIS 2008 is too old. Additionally, SQL Server 2008, and its SSIS, are out of support. I strongly suggest upgrading your SSIS to a later and supported version.
VS2019 supports SSIS development for the following SSIS versions:
2012
2014
2016
2017
2019
-- UPDATE --
can sql server2008 use ssis later than 2008? this is what i was trying
to establish
No, SQL Server version and SSIS version are one and the same.
-- UPDATE #2 --
BIDS (Business Intelligence Development Studio) can be found after installing the full version of SQL server 2008.
Check it out here: Creating a SSIS package in VS 2008
I've installed SQL Server 2016 Developer Edition, because Microsoft states:
SSDT database projects in Visual Studio 2017 currently support up to SQL Server 2016. Support for SQL Server 2017 will be coming soon in a Visual Studio 2017 update.
My question is: Should I install exclusively SSMS 2016 or SQL Server Management Studio 17.1 is compatible with SQL Server 2016 Developer Edition as well ?
Thank you #scsimon for giving me an air of confidence.
I've installed SSMS 2017.1. It's compatible with SQL Server 2016, it works like a charm and, to be honest, it is much faster then SSMS 2016.
I have installed SQL server 2012 and SQL Server 2008R2. On my Visual Studio under Server Explorer it displying 2012 SErver databases , how to display only 2008 server databases please advice
I have Sql Server 2012 SP1 but I can't find how to create a sql compact server. It is not under connections like it was in sql server 2008.
Did they move it or do I have to install something else? According to web platform installer I have sql compact server 4.0 installed on my machine.
SQL Server 2012 doesn't come with Compact Edition.
I believe it comes with Visual Studio 2012 SP1, and it would be visible trough it.
