The following article states that SSRS 2016 supports SQL2008 and beyond for its ReportingServer DB: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/reporting-services/install-windows/ssrs-report-server-create-a-report-server-database
However, I couldn't find any article specifying the supported database versions for SSRS 2012 - Does anyone know if running SSRS 2012 is supported with a SQL2005 database?
Many thanks,
Paul

I need to dump a software to a clients server. The problem is that my software is using SQL server 2008 and the client is using SQL Server 2000. So could anyone please suggest how I can make the clients SQL server 2000 compatible with my queries of SQL server 2008?
Thanks for the suggestion
But my concern is that software is already developed with SQL server 2008, then is there any way to use it with SQL server 2000?
You should have developed your software against SQL 2000, or demanded your client upgrade to at least 2005. Did
you ask the client which version you would deploy to before starting development? That is part of standard requirements gathering.
SQL 2008 queries may or may not be compatible with SQL 2000 due to
many new features in 2005 and 2008. There is no shortcut.
At best, make sure to use SQL 2000 documentation from MSDN when writing queries. Use the lowest common denominator.
If you are supporting a product that must deploy to multiple SQL Server versions, you may consider using an ORM that supports SQL 2000. Checkout the Nuget gallery of ORMs: http://staging.nuget.org/packages?q=Tags%3A%22ORM%22 - I believe something simple like Dapper supports 2000.
At minimum you should set your SQL 2008 compatibility level down to 2000 during development.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb510680.aspx
ALTER DATABASE database_name SET COMPATIBILITY_LEVEL = 80
I recommend you setup a virtual machine, install the older OS that your client uses as well as SQL Server 2000. Otherwise there are unforeseeable differences.
So I'm experiencing the issue described in the title.
I know SQL 2000 doesn't support MARS (Multiple Active Result Sets) but my clients have SQL 2005/2008 and some of them are still having problems when I use MARS because their databases came from SQL 2000.
There is any workaround for MARS in this cases?
ps: I'm terrified just thinking of not using MARS
Does the current iteration of fluentmigrator work with SQL Server 2012? Its not listed under the supported databases.
There is no official support for Sql Server 2012 yet. But it should work if you specify SqlServer2008 as the database type. The differences between Sql Server 2005, 2008 and 2012 are not so significant when using FluentMigrator (Sql Server 2000 is a different story). Some features like the new sequence object have no support so in the meantime will have to be run using Execute.Sql.
UPDATE: I tested FluentMigrator against Sql Server 2012 Express with database type specified as SqlServer2008 and it worked fine.
UPDATE: FluentMigrator now officially supports Sql Server 2012 and Sequences.
I know that the only stupid question is the one that you don't ask ... but even so this could be borderline :)
Is it possible to install SSRS 2008 [stand alone] on a site that has SQL server 2005 installed.
I know that you can store the SSRS 2008 Report and Temp databases on SQL Server 2005 [With some restrictions based on the SSRS edition and the SQL server edition].
If SSRS 2008 is an integral part of SQL Server 2008 and can't be separated then our SQL Server 2005 customers will have to upgrade to SQL Server 2008.
Its closely related to here
Reporting services 2008 on Sql Server 2005
but I would like some further clarification.
Thanks in advance,

No. There is no SSRS-only installation.
Is there any way to migrate a DB2 Database to SQL Server 2005 Standard?
There are tools available for the migration process.
