visual studio business intelligence studio download

I just wanted to share this change with you in the newest version of Visual Studio I hope you found it helpful. In this screenshot I’m showing that we can enable these extensions by going up to Manage Extensions, then you can search for those and download and install them. In previous releases there used to be a separate installation or an add-on to Visual Studio that we had to download and install.

Once you have Visual Studio installed, the way we enable development for integration, analysis and reporting services now is through Visual Studio extensions.

You can just search for that option and select it.

The database designer ONLY is still available through the regular Visual Studio installation.

Again, this is just the database design tools, not integration, analysis or reporting services. (see my screenshot below) This is available similar to how it was in previous versions of Visual Studio.

When you’re installing Visual Studio, the database tools or the SQL Server Database Designer is still an option when you’re doing the Visual Studio installation.

I thought this may be helpful since although this topic is not exclusive to Azure, but with Azure SQL Databases, SSIS and Azure Analysis Services we still do our development of those products in Visual Studio. The way that we install these has changed in Visual Studio 2019, so I wanted to share this information.

Today I want to talk about how to install the Business Intelligence Designer which used to be part of SQL Server data tools. As you may know, Microsoft recently released Visual Studio 2019.
