Successful upgrade to SQL Server 2012

Hi everyone. Today I successfully upgraded our production database to the new version -SQL Server 2012. Actually everything went ok, and after running Upgrade Advisor and restored the database into a new server. The "challenge" was to upgrade existing SSRS reports and SSIS packages. What I would recommend is to open a new project in SQL Data Tools (yes BIDS is gone) and adding report by report to the project. SQL Server automatically upgraded them for first time I run them. Another thing is that now you can much easily to configure SSRS and even if you specified not to "configure" during the installation. I have not noticed any performance degradation since we moved from SQL Server 2005.So lets enjoy new features that were introduced and happy working with SQL Server 2012.

Not all are true. Everyone has their own way of thinking but I think they have to reconsider. I like to argue for the most accurate results.
