Install SSDT

Data Tools (SSDT)

is a set of development tooling for building SQL Server

databases, Azure SQL databases, Analysis Services (AS) data models, Integration Services (IS)

packages, and Reporting Services (RS) reports. With SSDT, you can design and deploy SQL

objects with the same project concept as other application development tools. The

capability extends to CI/CD pipelines, enabling you to automate the build and

deployment of your database projects with the

SqlPackage CLI.

The release notes for SSDT and its components are available for

Visual Studio 2017, 2019, 2022,

and 2026. An overview of the core SSDT functionality is provided in the

SSDT Overview.

SSDT is installed as a Visual Studio component, both for

online installation

and

offline

installation. Analysis Services, Integration Services, and Reporting Services projects are available

as separate extensions for each version.
