Going to replace Crystal Reports with SQL Reports?
Morning all:wave:
We've had enough of crystal reports on our application and are considering replacing it with SQL Reports. Dont know too much about SQL Reports but we do the following with Crystal:
- Sub reports which work from filters derived from Detail records on parent report.
- Use the same report fiiles used in the windows enviroment in a web environemnt.
- Use stored procedures as well as tables.
- Have conditional code to control the presentation of the report.
- Embed reports into a Windows VB.net application using a report Viewer.
- Display reports inside a windows app.
- Report Save to PDF
- Report Save to CSV
- Report Save to Excel
- Report Save to RTF
- Auto generate the report so that we can email a file (in the formats listed above).
Will SQL Reports Provide the same functionality? :afrog:
Thanks in advance;)
Re: Going to replace Crystal Reports with SQL Reports?
Yes -reports can have subreports and images and whatnot
Yes - reports can be rendered as XML, PDF, CSV, Excel
In fact I think you can do all your requirements and more with SQL Server Reporting Service.
