Reporting tool

JG · Mar 30, 2004

Hi,
Does anyone use Crystal Reports Report Application Server in ASP .NET
applications? How is the performance? I heard it's throttled. What's the
disadvantage of it? The full processor licence is $25000 for each
distribution, kind of expensive. Is someone using a better and more
affordable reporting tool in the web? This reporting tool need to support
both SQL Server and Oracle access.

Thanks in advance!

You could use the brand new SQL Server Reporting Services.
(Yes it works with Oracle too.)

I've had good experiences with VSView:

Here's a somewhat fancier version if you prefer:

Thanks. We have been thinking about SQL Server Reporting Services, too.
