Question : Reporting Services 2008 and SQL 2005 Database

Does anyone have advice/suggestions on setting up Reporting Services 2008 under SQL 2005 Database engine? Or should I ask, is that possible? Browsing the net only gives me new features of RS 2008, RS 2005 on SQL 2005.

Since we are into conceptualizing our Corporate Reporting site, I am keen of using RS 2008 version but still we have SQL 2005 Database in place and will probably not migrating to 2008 Database until the next 2 years :))

Answer : Reporting Services 2008 and SQL 2005 Database

If this did work you will be unable to use some new features.
For example running Reporting Services in Sharepoint Integration mode requires 2008 database.

Note that reports created in 2008, cannot be deployed on 2005 servers.

I guess the best option is maybe to try and set up a test server of SSRS2008, which connects to 2005 database.
