Users:
Definition: Entity at the top of the data food chain.
Consumes resources such including but not limited to: data, Hardware,
software, help desk support specialists, and DBA's.
Characteristics: Docile until one of the above is not available. Beware
when this occurs as they become very aggressive and even hostile.
Handle with care. If you encounter the above use the following measures
to insure your well being:
1: Forward emails to your help desk support team.
2: Forward your calls to your help desk support team.
3: If cornered in your cubicle or office maintain your composure. Try to
talk in soothing tones as not to excite the user. Users react well to
simple phrases like "Oh gee, I will look right into that." Or "wow I
will get right on it".
Once the user has returned to his normal habitat, forward his request to
the help desk support team.
4: Arm yourself with a good caller ID phone so when Users call you can
ignore them and let them go to voice mail.
5: I your lucky enough to be ED then dish them off to Jr. DBA.
When above steps fail time to find a good Louisville slugger.

Could it be that SQL Reporting Services 2005 is for the DBAs and Crystal
Reports is for the "developers"(Oh my! Phew!) and "users"(Bang! Bang!)?
hehe.

What we have encountered where I work is that as different apps that use
Crystal install their own copies of the dlls they often step on each
others' toes. It gets pretty frustrating from a support perspective.
Otherwise, I love creating reports using Crystal.

I'm unfamiliar with RS (something I hope to correct soon).
But I can say that Crystal is a fine product. I've created many reports
with the tool from simple to complex. For example, I just finished
adding barcode information to our time sheets and found it easy to
report from a "star" ERD structure.
Also, from what I've been reading, There's a way to incorporate Crystal
seamlessly into the C# apps I'm currently writing.
The only thing I don't like is that Crystal seems to get "confused"
when too many (how much is too many?) tables are linked together.
But that's easily remedied by creating views or building "staging"
tables.

Here it is,
Crystal is a lot easier to create and deploy the reports.
Reports server right now is like crystal reports was 6 years ago at 5.0
Remember crystal also has its own web service for serving reports and
better security.
Even though I am partial to Report write because of the integration to
net environment I think it has a long ways to go to be just a useful.

Subject: SQL Reporting Services 2005 v. Crystal Reports Server XI
My company is considering implementing either Reporting Services 2005 or
Crystal Reports for our report generation, so I've been comparing them
the past week. Does anyone have experience with these that can comment
on which one is a better choice, in terms of performance, ease of use
(for both report designer and end-user), and value? I am leaning
towards RS, because I like using SQL queries as datasets, but I also
like some features of Crystal better, like the report server itself, and
the price.
Any comments?
