[AccessD] Best Reporting Tool

Hi Jim

I know, but I guess (well, I'm sure) it won't host Reporting Services to feed the Report Viewer of Visual Studio.

My point is that you could set up a main database engine of any kind (like PostgreSQL) and let SQL Server Express pull or import data from the main engine to create the reports.

Hi Gustav:

PostgreSQL is one of the most powerful enterprise relational database
servers available, at any price.

Cost = 0.

Hi Darren

You could run one or more instances of SQL Server Express ...
It can link to external databases.

Hi Team

 

Brains Trust Question:

We will soon be moving away from SQL Server.

We will most likely be moving to PostgreSQL

At the moment we are using MS Reporting Services for our reporting platform.

We will be starting to look at other reporting tools soon.

So, to that end, what does the group recommend for reporting tools?
Cost is a factor


Thanks in advance
