I am having a hard time figuring how to actually create or even open a DAC application with Visual Studio 2012. I am using SQL Server 2012. I have SSDT installed.
Creating from Visual Studio:
According to online documentation I should be able to see a project template with the name "Data Tier Application" but all I see is SQL Server Database Project. Are they the same?
Creating from SSMS:
In an online video the presenter is using SSMS -> Database -> Right Click -> Create Project menu item, and after the wizard a VS project is popped open. I do not have this menu item, what I have is Tasks -> Export as Data Tier Application. This creates the DACPAC file but not the VS project, and I could not figure out how to open a dacpac from VS.
