Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐I liked this book because authors did a very good job packing a lot of good information about various aspects of Reporting Services in the book. The book was effective to learn about Reporting Services and handy as a reference afterwards. For example when I needed to alternate colors in a table I immediately found the reference to the topic. This book also covered reporting from Analysis Services (OLAP/MDX and Data Mining/DMX), Larson’s book lacked in this area. Section on integration of the Reporting Services in an application was easy to follow and use in my work. The book has a compact design which makes it easy to carry around, especially when you are traveling.

⭐I’ve written many reports using SQL Reporting Services 2000, but it’s been a number of months. This book was a good review to get back to speed on it, and covered a number of topics new to SQL 2005 as well as topics I did not know. This is a good book, but the code samples referred to often are not on the SAMS website. Because of this, a person who is using SRSS for the first time may want to choose a different book. I liked “Pro SQL Server 2000 Reporting Services” when I first learned the topic, and now they have a 2005 version.

⭐Generally this book is ok. The content of the book covers all the features of Reporting Services, which is good.There aren’t a lot of examples, but there are still some useful ones.The only thing really frustrating is some of the custom code examples flat out DO NOT WORK!Overall decent, good information, but not very deep.

⭐I usually don’t write reviews. In fact, the very action of me writing this review should note how impressed I am with this book. It’s a clear and consise text which addresses both the fundamentals and the hidden “expert knowledge” of reporting services.I am a contractor, and I don’t think I could have finished my latest project without this book on my desk everyday – seriously.

⭐I have read all the SRS2005 books, and by far, this is the worst. There is hardly any useful information in this. Not a book that you can use as a real-world reference. There is no meat in there. I would recommend either Wrox or Brian Larson’s book instead.

⭐Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services makes using the software easy to understand and easier to use.
