I'm looking at the ssrs deployment guide on the Azure site and it says to specify a 2008 r2 target? is ssrs on Azure not 2012? can I deploy 2012 SSRS reports? Also it suggest I download report builder 3.0, do i need that if I plan to install 2012 BI ? Is there even a 2012 BI install for Visual Studio 2012? Ideally I'd like to build and deploy SSRS 2012 reports.
Also, Can SSRS2012 consume SharePoint Online List Sources? Any plans for SP Integrated SSRS in o365/SharePoint 2013 Online?
And finally, we are looking for way to move from SP 2007 On prem, but we have 500 SSRS 2005 reports in SharePoint we need to somehow deliver through SharePoint.. any good shorterm option while MS catches up with this critical integration need? Right now we have SharePoint clients that don't want to go to the Cloud without their SSRS Reports.
thanks.
Regarding SQL 2012 compatibility I can't find anything that explicitly confirms 2012 compatibility, but based on the "Guidelines and Limitations" info Azure SQL Reporting is compatible with SQL Server Data Tools, which are the new version of SQL tools released with SQL Server 2012. That page also contains a link to download Report Builder, which links to the 2012 version.

Note that Azure SQL Reporting only supports Native Mode report server (not Sharepoint Integrated) and also only supports Windows Azure SQL databases as a data source.

I installed TFS Server 2013 and I configured Sql Reporting Services after the TFS installation. All went well until I saw that Reporting Services is not seen by the TFS (in the browser, no url for reports are available) even if the wizard is showing me that Reporting Services are configured and enabled in TFS. When I follow the Reporting Services Url, I see that no TFS reports were created.
Has anyone else had this problem? Does anyone know the answer?
Employees had already introduced data into TFS so I can't just reinstall the server.
Please help!
Grab the TFS Power Tools and download the process template from the TFS server and then use:
tfpt addprojectreports
/collection:"http://MyServer:8080/tfs/DefaultCollection"
/teamproject:MyProject /processtemplate:"TemplateName"

I have a web site running in an Azure Cloud Services Web Role, which uses an Azure SQL Database. For development, I use SQL Server LocalDb, which was installed with Visual Studio 2013.
Now that SQL Server 2014 is released, should I switch to its version of LocalDb? Does the new LocalDb provide a more realistic emulation of Azure than the LocalDb that ships with VS2013? If I should switch, what should I uninstall and what should I install? Any other configuration changes?
Microsoft has released an update to SQL Server Data Tools which includes an update to LocalDb. The built-in Visual Studio 2013 Product Updates now includes the SQL Server Data Tools update.
We're currently looking into SharePoint 2010 and we're decided what we need as a business.
We're at a point where we are looking to upgrade our MS SQL Server from 2008 to SQL 2012 Enterprise Edition but mainly on the back of SharePoint features.
Can somebody tell me if SharePoint Enterprise Edition can run Performance Point & PowerPivot off MS SQL Server 2008 or would it require SQL 2012 Enterprise?
Thanks
From what I've found you need:
SharePoint Enterprise in order to use PowerPivot and PerformancePoint (dashboard services) with SQL Server 2008 R2 for PowerPivot and PerformancePoint to run.
In this particular case there was no need for us to upgrade.
Is it required to have SharePoint server for working with Power View in SSRS? I have SQL Server with MSBI 2012. My client is inclined towards using Power view. Do I need need to install SharePoint (and pay for it) to use Power view in SSRS with SQL Server 2012 ?
Short answer is yes. From Microsoft:
Power View is now a feature of Microsoft Excel 2013, and is part of
the Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Reporting Services add-in for Microsoft
SharePoint Server 2010 and 2013 Enterprise Editions.
And:
Power View is a browser-based Silverlight application launched from
SharePoint Server 2010

I am looking at Access 2013 and when trying to create a linked table to a Sharepoint list, I keep receiving an error:
Access Services
Access can't connect to the external data source because the LocalDB component or the SQL Native Client component are not installed.
That's all there is to the error.
I am an admin with "Full Control" rights to Sharepoint. I have tried this on Sharepoint 2007 and 2013.
I'd like for it to work as it does here:
http://blogs.office.com/b/microsoft-access/archive/2012/08/30/link-to-sharepoint-lists-in-access.aspx
To anyone with same problem above, make sure the following components are installed on the Sharepoint Server:
Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Local DB (SQLLocalDB.msi)
Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Data-Tier Application Framework (Dacframework.msi)
Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Native Client (sqlncli.msi)
Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Transact-SQL ScriptDom (SQLDOM.MSI)
Microsoft System CLR Types for Microsoft SQL Server 2012 (SQLSysClrTypes.msi)
You must restart the SharePoint Server after following the install steps from the previous post.
