Reporting Services 2005 requires which SQL Server version?

Very quick question - as our customers have mission critical databases and
will not allow us to upgrade right after Yukon is released, can Reporting
Services 2005 use SQL Server 2000 to hold it's databases? If so then I can
upgrade the non-critical report servers and leave the databases alone for
the moment.
Thanks in advance,

I presume Reporting Services will allow databases to be in SQLServer
2000 because thinking real time most of the operational data will be in
SS 2000 when Yukon is released.
However, The Microsoft guys are the right people to answer this
Question
Anand Sagar|||My understanding is that RS 2005 can use SQL Server 2000 for its databases.
Obviously reporting off of other databases is no problem. My understanding
is also that you will require the SQL Server 2005 license but that the DB
can stay as 2000.

Reporting services 2005

Hi,
I've installed SQL server 2005 with both service packs on my std 2003
server. The application I'm using requires reporting services 2005 as
well but I can't find it within SQL. Is it part of the SQL 2005 suite as
I couldn't find it within the standard intstall? Do I need to install
seperately from the installation disk?
Thanks,
AndrewWhat version of SQL Server are you installing. For 2005 it is on the
installation disks.
