I have sql server development studio.I have done a task using it.but now i am asked to use just the sql server 2012 for it.I have googled but have not got satisfactory results.Most of the posts are about ssrs using visual studio.please guide me.
The SSRS development tool in SQL Server 2012 is called SQL Server Data Tool (SSDT).
While installing SQL Server you will get an option to install Reporting Services (This is just the service not Interface for development). To develop SSRS you are required to install SSDT (Visual Studio integrated tool) as report development requires a interface. The Reporting Services can be installed with Native mode and SharePoint mode.
In native mode, You will get 2 things called Report Server and Report Manager, from where you can access your deployed report.
For your knowledge: SSRS report file (.rdl) is nothing but a XML file. If you are expert in writing XML code you can create your RDL file (This is not practically done - not easy).
Search about Report Builder also - It is also client based tool to develop and modify existing SSRS Report.

I have installed SQL Server 2014 and Visual Studio Professional 2015. So, does that mean it already has SSMS pre-installed with it, or it needs to be done separately.
My need is: Report generation using SSMS, from data coming from query behind SQL Server.
So, what needs to be exactly done to configure SSMS into SQL Server with VS 2015.
Upon deep diving even more, got the answer.
Option One: Google for 'SQL Server Data Tools' installer, compatible with your VS. Run the Installer.
Option Two: Open Visual Studio 2015 - Tools > Extension and Updates. Find/Search for 'SQL Server Data Tools' update option. Run it.
I'm still not sure if there comes a complete package of Visual Studio along with Data Tools, but I don't think it does. As we still need to add certain packages into VS Installer as per need.
I am trying to install SQL Server 2014 with Integration Services.
Here is the download link I used to download with tools.
File Name : SQLEXPRWT_x64_ENU
But when I proceed to feature selection Integration Services is missing ?
What am i doing wrong ?
Any help would be great.
Update
For future readers, Actually Integration Services is not available on sql azure as said by #Nick.McDermaid , and i was trying to export sql query results to excel. I have to try some other options for sql azure. But Integration Services must be available in other sql server products.
This SSIS runtime is not available in any of the Express editions.
From MSDN:
The only extra services that you get with the Advanced Services are Full Text Search and Reporting Services.
This package contains all the components of SQL Server Express
including the full version of SQL Server 2014 Management Studio. This
is a larger download than “with Tools,” as it also includes both Full
Text Search and Reporting Services.
Take a look at this page:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc645993(v=SQL.110).aspx
Under the heading
Integration Services
You'll see Express with Advanced Services has:
SQL Server Import and Export Wizard
Built-in data source connectors
But it doesn't have
SSIS designer and runtime
So the answer is no: express with advanced services does not have the full SSIS version, therefore you won't see it in the install tick boxes. It does have import/export wizard
SQL Server 2016 Development edition is free and comes with SSIS
To transfer data from Azure to a local excel file I can think of three options off the top of my head:
Manually, run a select query in SQL Server Management Studio, then copy paste the grid into Excel. Or you can right click/Save results as CSV
You should be able to use the import/export wizard on your local install of SQL Express to extract data from the Azure instance. I've never tried it though
If you want to automate it you can use SQLCMD to export a CSV file also
The next question is why do you want to export it? If it's for analysis you might be better served running SQL Queries. If it's for a report, again you might be better served with SQL queries or whatever bits of SSRS are installed with SQL Server Express Advanced
To my believe, to get SSIS you need to install SQLEXPRADV_x86_ENU.exe package instead. From the linked documentation ... if you check the Details section; this is what it says:
Express with Tools (SQLEXPRWT_Architecture_Language.exe)
This package
contains everything needed to install and configure SQL Server as a
database server including the full version of SQL Server 2014
Management Studio. Choose either LocalDB or Express depending on your
needs above.
Express with Advanced Services (SQLEXPRADV_Architecture_Language.exe)
This package contains all the components of SQL Server Express including the full version of SQL Server 2014 Management Studio. This
is a larger download than “with Tools,” as it also includes both Full
Text Search and Reporting Services.
Is there any way to preview reports in Visual Studio without having to put them in a ReportViewer control, and stopping and relaunching the app anytime I want to make a change to the report? I am creating the reports in Visual Studio to be used by an app I'm building in Lightswitch.
I tried setting up SQL Server Reporting Services, but I encountered permission issues attempting to use the reporting server on my localhost and it seems that a deployment step would still be required to view my reports there anyway. My goal is to make changes to the reports and be able to preview them without a build step. It doesn't take the Lightswitch solution that long to build, I'm just looking to make development more efficient if possible.
I do not think that is possible. It is possible through BIDS though...
The Visual Studio Report Designer is similar to the user interface in
Business Intelligence Development Studio in SQL Server 2008 R2 or
later, except that it does not have the preview functionality and it
saves the reports in .rdlc files rather than .rdl files. For more
information about Report Designer in Business Intelligence Development
Studio, see Reporting Services Reports in SQL Server Books Online.
Report Designer (Visual Studio)
Is there a way in Visual Studio to check dependencies such as a database or report? They are on my local computer now, but I want to send them to a peer to have it tested. I have a dbo file which looks like my database. I also have an rdl file which looks like the actual report.
SSRS runs on a host of SQL Server instance. The report is delivered either in a browser or in a control you can embed in a Windows form or WPF form.
On a standalone, development machine, you would have to install SQL Server (developer version is very cheap and very powerful) and install SSRS along with the instance.
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:
