Is it possible to have an application running on an SQL server version different than the SSRS server version ?

Also for the report viewer, does it related to the SSRS version the application is using ? Or are they totally separate ?

    Hi @Mohamed Khaled

    What are your SQL server and SSRS versions? You can host a report server database on a different version of SQL Server. In general, you can run a version of SSRS and host the database on a lower version of SQL Server.

    For the version of Report Viewer, you can check this link: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/reporting-services/application-integration/reportviewer-controls-support?view=sql-server-ver16.

    Best regards,
