What is SSRS(SQL Server Reporting Services) | Part 2

Описание: What is SSRS:
SSRS stands for SQL Server Reporting Services, which is a server-based reporting platform from Microsoft.
It's part of the Microsoft SQL Server suite of tools and is primarily used to design,
deploy,
and manage reports in a business environment.

SSRS enables users to create a wide variety of reports, including tabular, graphical, and interactive reports, which can be accessed via a web portal, email, or even embedded in applications.
Features:
Report Creation: You can design reports using tools like Report Builder or SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT).
These tools allow you to create reports using data from multiple sources like SQL Server databases, Excel files, and other data sources.
Data Retrieval: SSRS can connect to various data sources, including SQL Server, Oracle, and other relational databases, to retrieve the necessary data for report generation.
Report Types: SSRS supports multiple report types:
 Tabular reports (traditional grids of data)
 Matrix reports (crosstab reports)
 Charts and Graphs (visual representation of data)
 Interactive Reports (drill-downs, parameters, etc.)
Interactive Features: Users can interact with reports by using filters, drill-through actions, and parameters to customize the data they see.
Publishing and Access: Reports can be deployed to a report server, which is a central place for storing and accessing reports.


These reports can then be shared with others
via a web portal, or
even delivered to users through email subscriptions
or automated schedules.

Security and Permissions: SSRS provides fine-grained security, allowing administrators to set permissions on who can view, manage, or edit reports.

Export Options: SSRS allows reports to be exported into multiple formats, including PDF, Excel, Word, and CSV.

Subscriptions: Reports can be scheduled to run automatically and sent to users via email or saved to a file system at designated intervals.
