Question

I was just looking into some articles about version control for databases and came across a blog by Jeff Atwood where he recommends Visual Studio Team Edition for Database Professionals. He provided a link to a trial, but the only problem is that that trial is from 2005.

Is this product a separate version of Visual Studio altogether, or is it some sort of add-in? And in either case, is there a recent version of it? I don't see anything for 2012 when I google it.

Was it helpful?

Solution

In Visual Studio 2012, SQL Server Data Tools replaced and provided conversion capability for existing Visual Studio database projects.

Previously these were called Database Projects in Visual Studio since 2010 (and before that, GDR in 2008)

If you already have the Professional, Ultimate, or Premium Edition of Visual Studio 2012 and didn't opt out of installing SQL Server Data Tools during setup, then your machine has an existing installation of SSDT.
