As I understand it, Microsoft are going to be releasing a new version of SQL Server this year. This being the case, are we going to get an update for Visual Studio 2010 that will enable us to create SSRS and SSIS solutions for use against SQL Server 2012, as well as previous versions of SQL?Ian Henderson Senior Business Intelligence Analyst (no, really)

SQL Server 2012 has been already released one and half month ago http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143747.aspx Best Regards, Uri Dimant SQL Server MVP http://dimantdatabasesolutions.blogspot.com/ http://sqlblog.com/blogs/uri_dimant/

Thanks Uri - shows how clued up I am :) Does that mean that we'll get an update that will allow us to finally be able to use VS2010 to create SSRS/SSIS projects?Ian Henderson Senior Business Intelligence Analyst (no, really)

Hello, Yes. In SQL Server 2012, SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT) is an add-in to Visual Studio 2010. We can use SSDT to create SSRS/SSIS projects.
