4.0 out of 5 stars Good book - but codes samples nowhere to be found, June 27, 2006

This review is from: Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services (Paperback)

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Kudos!, June 18, 2006

This review is from: Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services (Paperback)

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.

3.0 out of 5 stars Generally OK, August 24, 2006

By 

Golden Adam (Dallas, TX) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services (Paperback)

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.
