Differences between SSRS 2005 and 2008

What the main differences between SQL Reporting Services 2005 and 2008 in terms of features? I read about 2008 has much better in scalability. How about the features? What's in SSRS 2008 but not 2005? Thanks!

Solution

  • Granted, I'm researching the answers to the same question, but what I've learned thus far:
    2005 has the Table if you know the number of columns but a variable number of rows. 2005 has the Matrix if you will have a variable number of columns AND rows

    2008 has a control called the "tablix" which appears to have the properties of both the 2005 table and matrix controls.

    Other than that 1 main difference, I've only seen marketing buzzwords.

    Good luck!
