Hey folks. This is going to be a short post, just wanted to mention something that may come handy for those who are interested in play with SQL Server 2014.
I downloaded SQL Server 2014 a couple of weeks ago and started exploring its new features to see what has changed/improved. After going through very few blogs I usually check and running some tests on the DB engine (and be amazed by how efficient the new version is compared to 2008 R2), I wanted to start playing with the tools that I am most interested in: SSIS and SSAS.
What do you guys do when you want to add a new SSIs project? That’s right, you open Visual Studio or SSDT (aka BIDS) and create a new project. But wait a minute, where is the new Visual Studio that is supposed to come with SQL Server 2014? I looked into the folder created in my start menu, couldn’t find anything in there.
After looking into MSDN I realized that unlike previous versions, SSDT does not come with 2014 version of SQL Server and it should be downloaded separately. It’s so ironic our friends in Microsoft forgot to mention it, isn’t it?
Anyway, let’s not be a fusspot about how could they forget mentioning this and download it ourselves from here.
Hope this can help, cheers.
