BIDS download

  • What do you mean can't find SSAS?

    You need to create a new project, then in the bi category SSAS should be the 1st option.

  • My visual studio 8 just contains RSreporthost.exe,, no BIDS...

    In visual studio 10 i created new project but cant find Analysis services option

  • Have you tried uninstall / reinstall the tools with the ss install file?

  • You will NOT find it in Visual studio 9 or 10. BIDs 2005 links with Visual Studio 8. Not any other version of visual studio.

    Try what Ninja recommends

  • Cool, make sure you reapply the SPs so that you are everything at the same level and avoid weird bugs (rare but it happens).

  • actaully i was doing it on hte local machine, so no SP issue.

  • Makes no difference. You should always apply the latests patches to a new install. The only exception being on a dev machine where you need to match a prod sp level.

    I just lost 1 days work because we are late on sps here... nothing major but it's still lost for a 5 minutes install.

    You mean you don't apply service packs to the local machine? Do you like running into bugs that were fixed in service packs?

  • All of them... always unless you have a specific reason not too like the 1 I mentionned earlier.

    SP4 is available for SQL 2005 at this moment.

  • has people tried sp4 on production servers as yet??

  • We're in testing phase atm for SP4.

    But since there was only like 5 bug fixes instead of 50, it's less worrysome... and yet I'm more on guard than ever!
