Hi

I have installed Microsoft SQL SERVER 2005.

This consists of the Configuration tools(SQL server configuration manager,SQL Error and usage Reporting, Sql Sever Surface area configuration, Reporting Services configuration) and SQL Server Management Studio.

However I dont find SQL Server Business Intelligence Development Studio.

Can anybody tell me how to install it?

Is it available online as a freeware download?

Please post the link from where I can download it?

Please help me out!

Quick answer for : Business Intelligence Development Studio (BIDS) is installed from the SQL Server 2005 setup as part of the client/workstation tools — it is not a separate, general-purpose download you run by itself. If you can’t find BIDS it usually means either the client/workstation components were not selected during setup or you installed an Express/limited edition. (documentation.help)

How to get it: run the SQL Server 2005 setup from your installation media, choose the Components-to-Install screen and select the Workstation components / Client Components (or use Advanced -> Feature Selection and make sure Business Intelligence Development Studio is set to "Will be installed on local hard drive"). For unattended installs you can add the client tools with ADDLOCAL; for example (adjust the drive and exact feature names for your media/version and remember feature names are case-sensitive):

Start /wait D:\servers\setup.exe /qb ADDLOCAL=Client_Components,SQL_Tools90,SQL_DTS

Check the setup docs for the exact feature names and folder to run setup from. (documentation.help)

Edition note (ties to and ): the full BI project templates (SSIS/SSAS/SSRS design) come with editions that include those services (Standard/Developer/Enterprise). SQL Server Express itself does not include the full SSIS/SSAS services; Microsoft published a separate SQL Server 2005 Express Toolkit that included Management Studio Express plus a limited BIDS for Reporting Services projects only — it does not provide the full SSIS/SSAS templates that paid editions provide. (news.microsoft.com)

Troubleshooting (for and ): after installing BIDS you should see Start -> All Programs -> Microsoft SQL Server 2005 -> Business Intelligence Development Studio; BIDS installs a Visual Studio 2005 shell and the BI templates. If the shell or templates are missing, run the SQL Server media’s Tools\Setup\vs_setup.exe to install the shell, then repair the BI tools (repair/reinstall the SQL_WarehouseDevWorkbench component or run setup with the REINSTALL/REINSTALLMODE options as documented in community troubleshooting notes). (flylib.com)

Summary: confirm your edition, rerun setup and select the workstation/client tools (or use the Express Toolkit only if you only need SSRS report design). The official setup docs linked above show the exact component names and command-line options. (documentation.help)

What's the edition you are using + did you install server tools or client tools?

BIDS is part of Visual Studio not SQL Server.

@Ramy, you are right.

Not sure why I was thinking it was in Visual Studios. Its been awhile since I have used it and everything Microsoft just looks and feels the same I guess.

U suppose to install the enterprise edition or standard edition of sql server 2005 in order to get the BIDS. :)
