Microsoft plans to embed a business-reporting feature into its SQL Server database software, a move that will likely cause jitters among specialized business-reporting software companies.
The software giant said Wednesday that in the first half of this year it will begin a testing program for SQL Server Reporting Services, a planned add-on feature for a forthcoming SQL Server database code-named Yukon. Business reporting tools pull information from databases and generate preformatted reports, such as regular updates on sales.
