SSDT - Where??

  • After trashing my Visual Studio 2013 Professional installation by installing the stand-alone SQL Server 2014 SSDT package, I downloaded and installed Visual Studio 2015 Professional, noting in the feature matrix that SSDT functionality is supposed to be included. But it's not, as far as I can tell. I can "create a database" which I would never do outside of SSMS in any case (maybe a full-time programmer would but not a DBA) but no mention of SSIS at all. Really?

    Would it kill Microsoft to just include SSDT functionality in its Visual Studio installers? I just want the BI templates, I don't want my VS re-branded SSDT and rendered practically unuseable for any other kind of project.

    Is this yet another an instance of two MS product groups who won't talk to one another? I wouldn't even mind a stand-alone VS shell for BI development as long as it did not trash my full Visual Studio installation, which--believe it or not--I occasionally use for something other than BI projects.

    If I am missing something obvious please enlighten me.

    May be you should wait till post-august2015-preview SSDT RTM is released.
