    Hello,

    Only Developer Edition, Evaluation Edition (free to try), Enterprise Edition and Standard Edition support BIDS. For more information about features supported by editions of SQL Server 2008, please see the following article:

    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc645993%28v=SQL.100%29.aspx


    Developer Edition costs about USD$50.00 only.

    No free edition supports BIDS.

    Hope this helps.
