• SQL Server (Default) instance already exists (not really!)

  Ok,    I haven't had this much trouble installing MS software in many moons.  My end goal is to install Team Foundation Server, but to do that I need SQL Server 2005 first, then SharePoint, then TFS.  At each of these steps it is appearing to be a mine field, and it is apparent that the MS Installer is doing a terrible job at uninstalling everything.     End of whine.  So my situation is this, I had instal ...Show All

• SQL Server Oracle support and Report Builder

  Can anyone confirm whether Oracle support for Report Builder will be in SSRS 2005/SP1 I think a long time (6-7 months) ago this was kicked around as a possibility, but as far as I know there are currently no plans to include direct access to Oracle via Report Builder in SP1. You could do this by using a UDM/Cube in SSAS (which points to Oracle) or linking Oracle tables into SQL, though... ...Show All
