SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT)

SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT) is a set of development tools integrated into Visual Studio that allows database professionals to design, build, and manage SQL Server databases efficiently. It provides a workspace for creating database schemas, writing queries, and defining data models, with features like version control and debugging. SSDT helps ensure that database changes are consistent, reliable, and easily deployable across environments, supporting team collaboration and reducing errors during development and updates. In essence, it streamlines the process of developing and maintaining SQL Server databases within a professional development environment.
