Analytics Platform System (PDW)
Data Tools (SSDT) provides project templates and design surfaces for building SQL
Server content types - relational databases, Analysis Services models, Reporting Services
reports, and Integration Services packages.
SSDT is backward compatible, so you can always use
the newest SSDT
to design and deploy
databases, models, reports, and packages that run on older versions of SQL Server.
Historically, the Visual Studio shell used to create SQL Server content types has been released
under various names, including
Data Tools
,
Data Tools - Business
, and. Previous versions came with
distinct sets of project templates. To get all of the project templates together in one SSDT, you
need
the newest version. Otherwise, you probably need to install multiple previous versions to
get all of the templates used in SQL Server. Only one shell is installed per version of Visual
Studio; installing a second SSDT just adds the missing templates.
