Last time, we discussed how to create your first report in Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services. The report we created was a status report on SQL Server Agent jobs. The report we created was from the template and was very crude looking because of that.

I have always read that 8060 bytes is the maximum size. This is stated over and over again in Books Online, the MS site and numerous other sites, including this one. However a post in our forum recently questioned this. I decided to verify the problem and do a little research.
Datetime data in SQL Server can be a little confusing to work with, especially as many front end languages do not combine the date and time into a single datatype. As a result, T-SQL is sometimes used to manipulate and convert datetime data into more useable formats.
