Can we configure SQL Server Reporting Services with MySQL?

Question

Hello,

We have some reporting needs and we wanted to use SSRS standalone for it, but our database is in MySQL and we do not have MS SQL server Setup.

Therefore, wanted to know, Can we configure SQL Server Reporting Services with MySQL? Is it possible to have the reporting services databases i.e. ReportServer and ReportServerTempDB on MySQL?

If yes, kindly suggest some references to how we may do this setup.

Thank you.

Answer 1

You can use MySQL as datasource for your reports, see Data Sources Supported by Reporting Services (SSRS)
But to host the ReportServer databases you need a MS SQL Server, never saw that an other RDBMS is supported.
If you purchase a license for SSRS then you have a license for the complete MS data stack and that means, you can install MS SQL Server database engine as well.
