Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools provides an integrated environment for database developers to carry out all their database design work for any SQL Server platform (both on and off premise) within Visual Studio.
Database developers will be able to rely on the SQL Server Object Explorer in Visual Sudio to generate or modify database objects and data, as well as execute queries.
Developers will also appreciate the familiar VS tools we bring to database development, specifically; code navigation, IntelliSense, language support that parallels what is available for C# and VB, platform-specific validation, debugging and declarative editing in the TSQL Editor, as well as a visual Table Designer for both database projects and online database instances.

Focus has been put on ease of use and discoverability for core tasks in each T-SQL editing scenario. For connected T-SQL script execution, the toolbar now includes only those commands relevant to imperative scripting ...
