I want to start devleoping SSIS packages. I want to do this in Visual Studio Business Intelligence Integration Services developer.
It looks like Business intelligence is only available for Visual Studio 2013 at the latest. I currently have Visual Studio 2015 Community.
I have SQL Server 2014 and SQL server 2014 Management studio installed. In order to get SSIS packages will I have to install SQL Server data tools 2014?
After that will have I to install Visual Studio 2013 Community and Business Intelligence for Visual Studio 2013?
Is this all I need to create an SSIS Business Intelligence Project in Visual Studio?
SSDT comes wrapped with sql server editions but SSIS and SSAS aren't included with express editions (SSRS is). Developer edition might be appropriate for you.
The installation process will ask you what you want to install.I have never been able to get any of the editions to "work" with WIN home editions - professional or above, fine. When choosing a version of an edition simple rule of thumb is biggest for best for your architecture. For a presentation layer I would also get the excel add ins Power query and power pivot (if you have excel) and if you are thinking of getting to grips with dashboarding have a look at Power BI, Tableau, Qlikview all of which are free or have community editions.

I have installed sql server 2014 Enterprise, as wellas Visual Studio 2015 Enterprise on my Windows 2012 Server Data Center Edition. I am unable to find any menu options under either Windows OS, Sql Server, or Visual Studio, which would help create an Analysis type project.
The goal is to create a Data Warehouse, and an OLAP cube - to learn and practice ms sql server based analysis.
When I look at the sql server 2014 installation summary, I can clearly see the analysis services installed.
What is the common starting point to create such analysis project?
The BI project templates are a separate install. You need to download SSDT-BI.
I have VS 2013 installed with Business Intelligence for Visual Studio 2013.
I need to write a SSIS package to be run on SQL Server 2008 R2
Per Analysis Services & PowerPivot Blog
this is not officially supported.
Anyone know of a workaround to leverage VS 2013 and it's tool set. I really thought I was done having to keep four generations of development tools on my machine... holding out hope here.
No it is not possible. SSIS only allows a specific version of the visual studio tools (BIDS/SSDT) to work for each version of SQL Server. Each version only creates one specific SSIS Package Version.
See link here explaining.
https://sqlstudies.com/2015/04/27/what-sql-version-is-my-ssis-package/
The newest version, SSDT/Visual Studio 2015 has added backwards compatibility for SSIS finally, but only back to SQL Server 2012.
See info here in link here.
https://www.mssqltips.com/sqlservertip/4253/backwards-compatibility-in-sql-server-data-tools-for-integration-services/
so it will not solve your problem with SQL Server 2008 R2 sorry :-(
Short question, I hope the answer is will be also short.
I'm a starting BI developer and we make a lot of use of Microsoft SQL Server and SQL Server Data tools (SSDT, previously BIDS). SSDT is a Visual Studio shell with components catered towards BI-centric solutions. I've always installed SSDT from a SQL Server installation.
I'm now doing a Visual Studio 2012 installation and notice an option to install SSDT. A quick search on Google only yielded a difference that SQL Server 2012 installs Visual Studio 2010 shell instead of 2012. Is there any other difference in installing SSDT from SQL Server or from Visual Studio?
Any and all help is welcome.
I'm a starting BI-developer and we make allot of use of Microsoft SQL
Server and SQL Server Data tools (SSDT, previously BIDS).
Ah. No. SSDT and BIDS are not the same. SSDT are a plugin into visual studio for SQL Server development, adding mostly the SQL Server Database Project which allows versioning and development of sql code in visual studio (as in: Stored procedures, table schemata etc.). BIDS is the visual studio version for - Analytics service, Integration Services and Reporting Services.
And SQL Server BIDS is most of the time built on an older version - for the 2012 Shell IIRC you need the 2014 server..... and the concurrent modern version of VS is 2013.
BIDS is NOT SSDT.
Does SQL Server 2012 include Visual Studio?
P.S. I don't mean to be an idiot, but I can't find the answer to this.
No, it does not include Visual Studio. If you do a full install with all the client tools you get some bare minimum shell stuff but that is just scaffolding to support things like Management Studio. Visual Studio proper is a separate product and must be licensed separately.
No, it doesn't come with Visual Studio.
SQL Server is a database server. The install media comes with some tooling, like SQL Server Management Studio.
Visual Studio is an IDE, an Integrated Development Environement. It can connect to SQL Server and used when developing database driven applications.
But the two are orthogonal.
It will come with Business Intelligence Design Stuido, commonly known as BIDS, which is built around the Visual Studio framework.
If you need a dev evnironment, you can check out Visual Studio Express
I have installed Microsoft SQL Server 2005.
This consists of the configuration tools (SQL server configuration manager, SQL Error and usage Reporting, SQL Server Surface area configuration, Reporting Services configuration) and SQL Server Management Studio.
However, I don't find SQL Server Business Intelligence Development Studio.
How can it be installed?
Is it available online as a freeware download?
It sounds like you have installed SQL Server 2005 Express Edition, which does not include SSIS or the Business Intelligence Development Studio.
BIDS is only provided with the (not free) Standard, Enterprise and Developer Editions.
EDIT
This information was correct for SQL Server 2005. Since SQL Server 2014, Developer Edition has been free. BIDS has been replaced by SQL Server Data Tools, a free plugin for Visual Studio (including the free Visual Studio Community Edition).
If you have installed SQL 2005 express edition and want to install BIDS (Business Intelligence Development Studio) then go to here Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition Toolkit
This has an option to install BIDS on my machine, and is the only way l could get hold of BIDS for SQL Server 2005 express edition.
Also this package l think has also allowed me to install both BIDS 2005 & 2008 express edition on the same machine.

Business Intelligence Development Studio is Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 with additional project types that are specific to SQL Server business intelligence. Business Intelligence Development Studio is the primary environment that you will use to develop business solutions that include Analysis Services, Integration Services, and Reporting Services projects. Each project type supplies templates for creating the objects required for business intelligence solutions, and provides a variety of designers, tools, and wizards to work with the objects.
If you already have Visual Studio installed, the new project types will be installed along with SQL Server.
More Information
I figured it out and posted the answer in Can't run Business Intelligence Development Studio, file is not found.
I had this same problem. I am running .NET framework 3.5, SQL Server 2005, and Visual Studio 2008. While I was trying to run SQL Server Business Intelligence Development Studio the icon was grayed out and the devenv.exe file was not found.
I hope this helps.
This worked for me:
Start /wait setup.exe /qb ADDLOCAL=SQL_DTS,Client_Components,Connectivity,SQL_Tools90,SQL_WarehouseDevWorkbench,SQLXML,Tools_Legacy,SQL_Documentation,SQL_BooksOnline
