Introduction

Introduction
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 is a complete business
intelligence (BI) platform that provides the features,
tools, and functionality to build both classic and
innovative kinds of analytical applications. This provides
an introduction to the tools that you will use to build an
analytical application, and highlights new functionality
that makes it easier than ever to build and manage
complex BI systems.
The following table presents an overview of the
components of a business intelligence system, and the
corresponding Microsoft SQL Server 2005 components.

New components for SQL 2005

Two components are new for SQL Server 2005: SQL Server
Management Studio and SQL Server Business Intelligence
Development Studio. The other primary BI components Integration
Services, Analysis Services OLAP, Analysis Services Data Mining,
and Reporting Services are substantially different and improved in
SQL Server 2005. The SQL Server 2005 relational database
contains several significant new features. Although the Microsoft
Office query and portal tools are not part of SQL Server, the current
releases will continue to work with SQL Server 2005. The BI
functionality in Microsoft Office will evolve with the Office product
release cycle.
The SQL Server 2005 Business Intelligence toolset delivers end-toend BI application integration

BI Toolset
Design: Business Intelligence Development
Studio is the first integrated development
environment designed for the business
intelligence system developer. Built on Visual
Studio 2005, the Business Intelligence
Development Studio delivers a rich, integrated,
professional development platform for BI system
developers. Debugging, source control, and
script and code development are available for all
components of the BI application

BI Toolset
Integrate: Integration Services has been
rewritten to perform complex data integration,
transformation, and synthesis at high speed for
very large data volumes. The Business
Intelligence Development Studio makes building
and debugging packages positively fun.
Integration Services, Analysis Services, and
Reporting Services work together to present a
seamless view of data from heterogeneous
sources.

BI Toolset
Store: SQL Server 2005 blurs the lines
between relational and multidimensional
databases. You can store data in the
relational database, in the
multidimensional database, or use the
new Proactive Cache feature to get the
best of both worlds.

BI Toolset
Analyze: Data Mining in SQL Server has always been
easy to use. Now it's even better with the addition of
important new algorithms, including Association Rules,
Time Series, Regression Trees, Sequence Clustering,
Neural Nets, and Nave Bayes. Important new analytical
capabilities have been added to Analysis Services cubes
as well: Key Performance Indicator framework, MDX
scripts, and other built-in advanced business analytics.
The Reporting Services report delivery and management
framework enables easy distribution of complex analytics
to the widest possible audience.

BI Toolset

Report: Reporting Services extends the Microsoft Business


Intelligence platform to reach the business user who needs to
consume the analysis. Reporting Services is an enterprise managed
reporting environment, embedded and managed using web
services. Reports can be personalized and delivered in a variety of
formats and with a range of interactivity and printing options.
Complex analyses can reach a broad audience through the
distribution of reports as a data source for downstream business
intelligence. New in SQL Server 2005 is Report Builder. Report
Builder provides for self service ad hoc reporting by the end user. Ad
hoc query and analysis tools from Microsoft and their partners will
continue to be a popular choice for accessing data in Analysis
Services and relational databases.

BI Toolset

Manage: The SQL Server Management Studio integrates the


management of all SQL Server 2005 components. Through
Management Studio, BI platform components gain enhanced
scalability, reliability, availability, and programmability. These
enhancements provide significant benefits to the business
intelligence practitioner. A key goal of the SQL Server 2005
Business Intelligence components is to support the development
and use of business intelligence in enterprises of all sizes, and to all
employees not just management and analysts, but also
operational and external constituents. To this end, SQL Server 2005
is complete, integrated, easy to use, publishes data as web
services, delivers great performance on commodity hardware, and
contains scores of new features that you can use to develop
innovative analytical applications
