REPORTING SERVICES
|
| SQL
Server Reporting Services is a server-based reporting
platform that you can use to create and manage tabular,
matrix, graphical, and free-form reports which contain
data from relational and multidimensional data sources.
|
The
reports that you create can be viewed and managed
over a World Wide Web-based connection. Reporting
Services includes the following core components:
- Complete set of tools that you can use to
create, manage, and view reports.
- Report generation in multiple output formats
including HTML, PDF, TIFF, Excel, CSV, and more.
- API that allows developers to integrate or
extend data and report processing in custom
applications, or create custom tools to build
and manage reports.
The reports that you build can be based on relational
or multidimensional data from SQL Server, Analysis
Services, Oracle, or any Microsoft .NET data provider
such as ODBC or OLE DB. You can create tabular,
matrix, and free-form reports. You can also create
ad hoc reports that use predefined models and data
sources.
Visually and functionally, the reports that you
build in Reporting Services surpass traditional
reporting by including interactive and Web-based
features. Some examples of these features include
drill-down reports that enable navigation through
layers of data, parameterized reports that support
content filtering at run time, free-form reports
that support content in vertical, nested, and side-by-side
layouts, links to Web-based content or resources,
and secure, centralized access to reports over remote
or local Web connections.
Although Reporting Services integrates with other
Microsoft technologies out-of-the-box, developers
and third-party vendors can build components to
support additional report output formats, delivery
formats, authentication models, and data source
types. The development and run-time architecture
was purposely created in a modular design to support
third-party extension and integration opportunities. |
