Comparison Of SQL Server Reporting Services To Access Reports, Crystal Reports, Cognos Or Other Options
Nov 5, 2007Hello SQL Server Experts, Data Analysts, and Report Writers et al:
re: Reporting Options with SQL Server
I wanted to propose an offshoot to the pryor thread:
Would anyone take a stab at comparing Access Reports, Crystal Reports,
Cognos or other options to all the Reporting Services and its components offered as part ofSQL Server, especially as to extracting data from SQL Server into a report format?
I guess this is a far as capabilites, ease of use, limitations, and especially formatting
or presentation of the end report product?
Thank you to all, and I hope this is a beneficial discussion to others.

Converting Crystal Reports To SSRS Reports
Mar 27, 2008
My issue is with converting multi-value parameters:
In Crystal Reports, you can set a parameter to accept multiple vales (Discrete, Range or Discrete and Range).
As an example:
I have a database table with a column called ID.
I can create a parameter called param_id and set the options of the parameter to "Allow multiple range values".
With this setup, I can limit the result set of the report by comparing the param_id parameter to the ID column in the database. Because param_id is a multi-value range parameter, I can pass it the following data:
1 - 50
60 - 80
150 - 127
This will only return results within those ranges.
Does anyone know if SSRS provides this kind of functionality?
Thanks,
Patrick Conway
Crystal Reports/SQL 7
May 3, 2001A long shot but someone may have experienced same problem. We are using Crystal Info to run reports against a SQL 7 database. Reports that usually take 1 or 2 minutes to run are taking up to 15 minutes to run. The database is fine ie you run the query through the query analyser and it runs in 1 or 2 minutes. Any ideas... I've spoken to Seagate but not making much progress.
Thanks in advance..

Crystal Reports
Apr 19, 2006I am working on creating Crystal Reports from a SQL database.
In CR you can define a multiple range parameter i.e. 1-10, 100-200, 300-400 and Cr will filer records that satisfy this criteria.
How can I transfer this functionality using a stored procedure?
SQL In Crystal Reports
Mar 20, 2007I'm new to SQL but have quite happily been using Crystal Reports without it until now.
I am creating a letter template and it has the name at the top then the address
<name>
<address1>
<address2>
<address3>
<address4>
There is always an address 1, but maybe not a 3 or a 4, and aparently we dont want any line gaps to show, so I figured i should use an isnull to eliminate the line and to move the other address line up?
Not sure what to put though, any ideas?
Thanks in advance for any help :o)

Feb 21, 2007I showed my boss the functionality of ad hoc reporting in SRSS and he likes it. He asked me if we could completely move away from Crystal Reports (CR) to SRSS.
Does anyone have any issues with SRSS that didnt exist in CR.
One question i have is programmability capabilities. Some time back i had to make a very complex report in CR. I create a table in the dataset. Designed the report to pull data from that table and the table was being populated through some VB.NET code. So the users will open a GUI and hit RUN, which is when i will populate the table and show the report. You can assume that populating the table required complex programming and couldnt have been done through user defined functions in a report.
I dont suppose stuff like this can be done in SRSS?

MS Reporting Services And Crystal Reports
Aug 23, 2004Can anyone tell me if MS Reporting Services can import/read a Crystal Reports file as it can an Access report file?
I've seen a few posts out on other boards that there are some companies charging fees for converting Crystal Reports over to MS Reporting Services.
Is there any easier way? Are there any tools out there that can do it?
Perhaps Microsoft should produce such a tool for converting...
Thanks in advance for any help!!
Crystal Reports Running Slow ??
Nov 9, 2004All,
I have been tapped to help with fixing a reporting tool. We have a Sql Server database/crystal reports(10) setup. I havent had the chance to look at the tables in the DB yet, but I was told that aggregate tables were used. In my past experience with crystal reports, we used database views to feed crystal reports (in Oracle). I was thinking that I could somehow use views instead of tables and then try to re-index the base tables and compile satitics (if theres such a thing with Sql Server). I was also going to look into bottlenecking and locking (table locking as opposed to row or page locking for the lookup tables...to reduce overhead on the main tables) but, I'm not sure if it'll make a difference since this is just a demo server with no major traffic hitting it yet.
The question is, does anyone have any experience with crystal reports running slow with Sql Server, what should I look out for??
