SharePoint SQL Reporting

SQL Reporting Services is a popular enterprise reporting application in the IT industry today. Many corporations are using SharePoint technologies (MOSS 2007 / WSS 3.0) as their primary portal, content management and information management system with excellent collaborative features such as document sharing and workflows in their SQL reporting services. Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Reporting Services Add-in for SharePoint Technologies enables you to take advantage of SQL Server 2008 report processing and management capabilities within Windows SharePoint Services (WSS) 3.0 or Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007. The integration point between Reporting Services and SharePoint was two separate Web Parts: Report Explorer and Report Viewer. These Web Parts made it possible to view reports within SharePoint .Using SQL SharePoint reporting you can create web application pages in which you can create subscriptions and schedules, and manage reports, models, and data sources. There are numerous benefits and advantages to integrating Reporting Services with Office SharePoint Server 2007. It provides synchronization from the SharePoint content database to the report server database. There is also a custom security extension that uses SharePoint permissions to control access to report server operations. You can derive the benefit of a revised Reporting Services Configuration tool that you can use to configure a report server for SharePoint integrated operations. It is a single consistent user interface for managing and viewing reports and provides a much richer user experience. Reports and all associated resources are stored within the Office SharePoint Server 2007 database and are automatically synchronized with the same reports that are stored and executed from the report server. Scheduling, caching, and subscriptions are stored in the report server database only because this functionality is not available natively in a SharePoint document library. It is a single security model for reports because they are treated like any other document inside a SharePoint document library.
