You can run the SQL Server set-up, but install only the client tools.

Thanks for the question. I didn't know about this limitation. (because who comes up with a 116 character table name?)

My avatar is currently gone as well.

This isn't so much a error, but an informational warning that it may take a bit to open the package and the editor may be slow.

Try this:

SELECT *

FROM Table

WHERE DATEADD(HOUR,HourKey,CONVERT(DATETIME,CONVERT(CHAR(8),SnapshotDate),112)) BETWEEN @from AND @to;

You did not provide any table DDL and sample data, so I could not test this query.

You debug the package in Visual Studio.

When debugging, the package will run locally inside BIDS.

If you want to run the package outside BIDS but not on the server, you need...
