Sql Server 2000 Reporting Services

After months of developing reports with the various Beta's, its nice to finally see the official product launch.

I really have a high-opinion of this product, especially considering that it is Microsoft's first forray into a general-purpose server-based report-generator.

The flexibility of Sql Server Reporting Services, along with its integration into VisualStudio.NET gives us a huge step-up....especially at the cost (FREE if you already have SqlServer 2000 licenses). I hear that this was developed by the same team who created the other excellent Sql Server product Sql Notification Services

  • Do the Reporting Services use one Single thread(Like CE) for all ON_DEMAND reports or separate threads for each ON-DEMAND report?

  • Sql Reporting Services is basically just another ASP.NET website. Therefore, it continues to use ADO.NET the same way a normal application would. The big gains from it are the Report-Designer, Data-Source designer, Multiple Renderers, Publisher/Subscriber model, Report Scheduling, WebService activation, Caching, and its pre-built Admin tools.



    Altogether, you get a huge amount of tools to make report-writing much easier, plus the bonus of being able to deliver them as Emails, Work Docs, Html, or Xml.



    I hope this answers your question.
