This project I'm working on has me using SQL Server 2008 R2 which I'm pretty new to. I have the full version of SQL Server and, SSIS, SSAS etc. What I don't know anything about is reporting services. I can connect to the report server but I don't see anyway to actually build reports. This is all in management studio, by the way. Is there a GUI interface for building reports? I have to assume that this software is distinct from SSMS?
You have to install BIDS (Business Intelligence Development Studio). It's in your SQL Server setup. Maybe you already did, have a look in your Visual Studio directory in your start menu.
yes its possible to install that way.
Business Intelligence Development Studio is a must to USE SSIS feature.

SQL Server Management Studio 18
Visual Studio 2019
The image above shows my desktop of the programs.
I installed all the required installments for SSMS 18:
SQL Server, including: SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) and SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS)•
SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS)
SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT): is a modern development tool for building SQL Server relational databases, Azure SQL Databases, Analysis Services (AS) data models, Integration Services (IS) packages, and Reporting Services (RS) reports, which comes integrated with Visual Studio.
but I still can not make an analysis services multidimensional and data mining project, Analysis tabular project, etc.
Please someone please tell me what to do to fix this issue? If possible, please tell a better way to install these programs in order for SSMS to have the extensions from Visual Studio 2019
I still can not make an analysis services multidimensional and data mining project, Analysis tabular project, etc.
These have never been available in SSMS, only in Visual Studio.
I was wondering if Visual Studio comes with SQL database? or do I have to install SQL server additionally in order to use it with Visual Studio?
I need it to store and manipulate data from textboxes and other controls in WinForms.
The VS2010 installer gives you the option of installing SQL Server 2008 Express Edition.. This edition is good enough for development purposes but is not intended for production use to be honest..
I guess it depends how serious you're going with it, you should definitely install the "full" SQL Server Development Edition if it's gonna be some serious database dev.
Goal:
Install Developer SQL Server 2012+ Business intelligence and its SSIS, SSRS and SSAS in my computer.
Problem:
Can't find the settings or something similar in the install selection to install SSIS, SSRS and SSAS in my computer.
Before doing the installation, a screen was displayed with selection of feature. Look at the picture.
It is in the Developer Ed of VS 2012. You just have to look for it now because they separated it out into a different place. Look for SQL Server Data Tools 2012 in your start menus and launch it; however, if it does not come up, then navigate to find your VS 2010 and start it up and load up your Integration Services project in there. This is what I had to do.
What you are looking for is Sql Server Data Tools. Bear in mind that there are 2 versions of the Data Tools - someone called them data tools - db and data tools - BI for lack of a better term.
Data Tools - BI are the compact version of Visual Studio 2010 with all the required project types for ssrs ssis and ssas.
Data Tools - db that you can get here provide connectivity to sql server via the Data Tools - (BIDS in sql server 2008).
The selection is disabled as Aaron said due to the fact that Intergration Services (SSIS), Analysis Services(SSAS) and reporting Services (SSRS) are already installed.
You want 2012, since others provided that information here is instead for you and OTHERS to get 2014 Data Tools and 2008 BIDS :
SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT) for SQL Server 2014
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-US/jj650015
OLD 2008 for some of you still wanting it / using sql server 2008....
For getting BIDS With SQL Server 2008 Developer Edition, you simply want to search for
"SQL Server Business Intelligence Development Studio"
This will open the Visual Studio 2008 Shell of which you then click on Create - Project
Now you have all your options. This is right next to Microsoft SQL Server (SSMS)
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
Based off this TechNet Article:

I am told that SQL Server 2005 installation with BI tools and SQL Server 2008 with BI tools can't work together on the same computer. Apparently "some" things stop working. This was told to me by one of my team members. Since I'm new to SQL BI, I cant discount what he has said altogether and I dont want to install them both on my dev box and find out later that there is problem.
Has anyone here installed them both, used both sufficiently well and found it to be working fine?
Thanks.
I have a complete install of both SQL2005 developer and SQL2008 developer on my workstation. Nothing unusual has happened. A collegue also has both installed and is making use of the BI side of SQL 2005, again we haven't noticed any ill affects.
Server side I would think twice before installing both, but only becuase of resource usasge. If your box has sufficent resources available then I wouldn't expect any issue.
I'm not sure if this is your development system or the server... If its the server you can have side by side reporting services on the same server at the same time (though you use double the resources too). I am not sure why you would though; the reporting services 2008 is vastly superior and can report on data from the sql 2005 instance. If you are worried about the lack of a service pack for sql 2008 you can report on data in sql 2008 from reporting services 2005 (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143736.aspx)
If its local on your own pc you can have the development tools both installed at the same time (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb500441.aspx); though in this case i would use the sql 2005 tools only if you are migrating to sql 2008 as SQL 2005 code works on 2008 but not necessarily the other way around.
If you have reporting services models make sure you check out report builder 2 which ms launched this week. Its a much better user experience than report builder 1.
