Is it possible to have SSRS 2008 Reporting Services run with a SQL Server 2005 database back-end?

I don't see why not because it will just be a datasource like Oracle or other RDBMS so the only thing connecting both is a connection string.

Kind regards,

Can a SQL Server 2005 database engine host the ReportServer and ReportServerTempDB database for a SQL Server 2008 Reporting Service installation?

Sorry for the confusion.

I would say maybe read the last comment in the link below for how to do that and no I have not used it.

Hi Patrick,

This configuration works fine, I've implemented it myself.

Prior to doing this I checked with Microsoft to confirm that this configuration was supported and they confirmed that it was.

Can you have an SSRS 2005 hitting the same ReportServer database that the 2008 is?
