Microsoft plans January 27 coming out for Reporting Services

Reporting Services for SQL Server 2000 will make its official debut on a January 27 Webcast, according to a Microsoft spokeswoman. The company had been trying to get the database add on out by year's end. Last June, Microsoft changed course on reporting services, which were to be an integral part of the Yukon release of SQL Server. At TechEd, Microsoft shifted gears to say the services would be accelerated for use with the current SQL Server 2000 release. Part of the reason was likely that Yukon itself was delayed. Reporting services would let users of the database, theoretically even non-techie users, build reports that slice and dice data into useable, visually understandable form.
