Step by step guide to remove the SQL Server Integration Services Projects extension from Visual Studio 2019?
This short Microsoft tutorial explains how to uninstall SSIS from Visual Studio 2019, i.e., the additional extension called SQL Server Integration Services Projects taht allows developers to create and deploy DTSX ETL packages.
Microsoft Integration Services and the SSIS Projects extension are two different things:
- Microsoft Integration Services run on a remote or a local server installed with a SQL Server database.
- The SSIS projects extension is an add-on that allows developers to create packages with the Visual Studio GUI.
The local installation of SSIS with Visual Studio, however, allows packages to be run locally only. After the development, you need to deploy the SSIS packages to a remote server and schedule executions automatically for process automation.
