SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services

Included with SQL Server 2005 is a group of interrelated applications, collectively known as SQL Server Reporting Service (SSRS). SSRS includes all the development and management pieces necessary to publish end user reports in HTML, PDF, Excel, and CSV formats. Originally released as a SQL 2000 separate add on that could be downloaded from the web, all the Reporting Server pieces are now bundled in SQL 2005. With Reporting Services built into SQL, expect to see product adoption rise quickly. Microsoft's accounting package, Solomon, will soon discontinue use of Crystal Reports in favor of SSR. more..
