SQL Server RS 2005 information

[Catadmin]

All,

I'm posting this link in the Admin group also. But I wanted to quote from the article in regards to SQL Server Reporting Services 2005.

In addition, DBAs get ready-made reports on detailed database and server stats, including schema changes, memory and index usage, resource consumption, blocking, and many others. SSMS relies on SSRS for this functionality, and I find that it sometimes bogs down when bringing up a report on a busy server, or on a large database with a lot of objects. I’m also a little disappointed that Microsoft didn’t provide the RDL (Report Definition Language) code. As a result, you can’t change the layouts of the canned reports, nor can you add your own reports or set up subscriptions, as you normally can in SSRS. You can manually export the reports to Excel or PDF, however.

So, no altering of canned reports is available. That's stupid, IMHO, but all we can do is complain to MS and hope they come out with an RDL upgrade or something...

Anyway, here's the article that quote came from:
