SQL Reporting Services
SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services is a key component of SQL Server
2005. Reporting Services was first released with SQL Server 2000 and
provided customers with an enterprise-capable reporting platform with a
comprehensive environment for authoring, managing, and delivering
reports to the entire organization. Reporting Services in SQL Server
2005 provides additional enterprise reporting capabilities and addresses
a new audience—business users who want to interact with data in an ad
hoc fashion as well as create their own reports from scratch and to
share them with others. In Reporting Services, the requirements of
different types of users who want to interact with reports can, for the
first time, be addressed with one reporting solution.
SQL Server Reporting Services supports a wide range of common data
sources, such as OLE DB and Open Database Connectivity (ODBC), as well
as multiple output formats such as familiar Web browsers and Microsoft
Office System applications. Using Microsoft Visual Studio .NET and the
Microsoft .NET Framework, developers can leverage the capabilities of
their existing information systems and connect to custom data sources,
produce additional output formats, and deliver to a variety of devices.
