    I just installed Visual Studio Professional, and I cannot find Business Intelligence Projects and I cannot find the Analysis Services Project Template. Mind you I have SQL Server 2012. What's wrong, why can't I find the analysis services?

    SSDT / SQL Server 2012 still provides "Multidimensional Databases" (formerly UDM).

    BIDS is not part of VS 2008 directly, you have to install it from SQL Server installation media (DVD).

    For SQL Server 2012 there are the new SSDT = SQL Server Data Tools available (for VS 2010!), see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/data/tools.aspx

    Yes I know SSDT is available for VS 2010, but the 2010 version doesn't have provisions in it's browser to allow me to do pivot tables unlike the BIDS. How can I make SQL Server 2012 work with VS 2008, because I don't have SQL Server 2008?
