Question related to Reporting Services vs Crystal Report

I am migrating my reports from crystal 8 to reporting services 2005 but before this my client wants answers of following question.Can anybody provide me answer or link related to mentioned question...

1 -Will there be any performance improvement when the same Report (considering big data) is being run with Sql-Server reporting services compared to the one with Crystal report engine?

2- Is it possible to make the labels which are part of Top Palette like “1 of 1”, “Find”, “Next”, “Select a format”, ‘Export” according to the Account language?

3- Can both Versions of Reporting Tools (SQL-Reporting service and Crystal Report) run on the same machine?

4- What are the limitations of this Tools like whether there are any additional load on Database Server because of the involvement of Reporting services which are installed on DB Server.

5- Whether there are additional (to Crystal Report) types of Graph formats, Export file types available?

6- How is the licensing done for SQL-Server Report services?

Please provide me the answers ASAP.

This link might help. It is a white sheet on migrating from CR to RS... http://www.microsoft.com/sql/techinfo/whitepapers/migrate-crystal-to-reporting-services.mspx

We have CR and RS on the same machine and there were no problems.

Hope this helps.

WOndering how someone would get the title of "Sr. Software Engineer, SIEMENS Sr. Software Engineer, SIEMENS " and not be able to do his own homework.

Sounded to me like a school report question.

hey mainiac,

If you are not aware about the things then these type of comments doesn't suits on you.

I am a pure C# and VC++ developer and currently working on three tasks simultaniously.

I am putting fresh hand on CR & RS and due to time constraint I wanted quick & exact

solution of mentioned questions.

If we can save our time by this then i think its good approach...

Although if you are not able to answer such queries then don't waste your time

here by commenting like this because this is Information Sharing Plateform for

all of us.There is no place for you and your comments in this technical word.

I hope you will understand the things.

Take care next time...

byee
