SQL Server Reporting Services is a new, exciting, rich platform for building, viewing, delivering, and managing reports pulled from SQL Server databases.
Extracting meaningful reports from databases has been perhaps the biggest concern of the database industry for years. Until now, users of SQL Server had
to turn to third party solutions, such as Crystal Reports. Because Reporting Services is not only easy to use but also free analysts expect a lot of interest in it. Bill Vaughn and Peter Blackburn are two of the most trusted names in the SQL Server world. They have already uncovered lots of undocumented
material that will be available only in this book. SQL Server professionals will want to learn about Reporting Services from people they trust, such as Bill and Peter, whether they have already committed to using it, or are just evaluating it. With the recent announcement of the delay in the release of SQL Server 2005 until 2005 this book will have an even longer shelf life.
