RC0 reporting services product samples - SQL Server 2008 and 2005
Until SQL Server 2000 the sample databases or files are installed along with binaries & program files, since version 2005 this has been changed and they are available from Microsoft download site and SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) has no exclusion.
No doubt that Reporting Services API is a comprehensive, server-based solution that enables the creation, management, and delivery of both traditional, paper-oriented reports and interactive, Web-based reports. Usage of SSRS is increased for OLTP & OLAP based services, such as Business Intelligence framework can provide the data management capabilities of SQL Server and Windows Server with familiar and flexible office System applications (Sharepoint & SCOM) to deliver real-time information to support daily operations and drive decisions.
Samples databases and projects contains Reporting Services samples in the following five categories: Application Samples, Extension Samples, Model Samples, Report Samples, and Script Samples.
As you can see these are available on CodePlex site which is an open source site where the users (even you can) contribute any samples that might be useful for the community. To download these samples click on the Releases tab on that link and optionally select another (older) release, then click on the Windows Installer package (MSI file) which matches the architecture of the installation computer.
The usefulness of the above link is you can download samples for the versions 2005 and 2008, on the categories Application Samples, Extension Samples, Model Samples, Report Samples, and Script Samples.
To admit few days ago I was wondering where I can test the samples for Reporting Services on one of the BI based project and I have achieved what I need.
