IT pros can use reporting services tools in SQL Server to “create interactive, tabular, graphical, or free-form reports from relational, multidimensional, or XML-based data sources," according to Microsoft. Report servers in SQL Server 2008 SP2 now integrate with SharePoint 2010 products and as Microsoft announced it, they also integrate with SharePoint 2007 products via an add-in. Microsoft has improved several products and fixed the bugs from the CTP version. This final version of the Service Pack 2 includes new compatibility features with SQL Server 2008 R2, hotfix solutions provided in SQL Server 2008 SP1 Cumulative Update 1 to 8. The SQL Server 2008 SP2 has major improvements that include integration of reporting services with SharePoint products and several management improvements. Microsoft has finally released the Service Pack 2 for SQL Server 2008, after almost three months of testing (the service pack was available only at the community test preview level, until now).
