VS 2008 and SQL Server 05 or 08?
-
Hi everyone, Can someone explain whether VS2008 will work with SQL Server 2005? I wasn't sure if VS2008 only works with SQL Server 2008. Also, does anyone know if SQL Server 2008 Express offer Reporting Services? My client does not want to spend money on a SQL Server license, so I'd like to install SQL Server 08 express...but only if Reporting Services is part of it. Thanks everyone, happy new yr John

Yes. It does. Any particular reason why the jump to SQL Server 2008? If the client is okay with using 2005 and doesn't want to pay for 2008, don't do the jump up to 2008, then.

Yes, you can VS2008 with SQL Server 2005. We are using it in our current project. SQL Server 2008 "Express" do NOT support Reporting Services. Please have a look for detailed features list at http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms165636(SQL.100).aspx[^]
