Microsoft SQL server reporting
Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services is built in to the latest version of the database platform, SQL Server 2005. It can be used to create and manage tabular, graphical and other reports that contain data from various data sources.

The reports can be viewed and managed over a web based connection. SQL Server Reporting Services includes the following components:
- A set of tools to create, manage, and view reports.
- A Report Server that hosts reports in a variety of formats including HTML web pages, PDF, Excel, CSV, and others.
- A component that allows developers to integrate reporting into custom developed applications
The reports 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.
Reporting Services reports can 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.
