Exercise 1 - Create a Native Mode Report Server Database

Native mode reporting services uses a SQL server database for storing published reports, models, shared data sources, session data, resources, and server metadata.

You can use the Database page in the Reporting Services Configuration Manager to create a report server database or to modify the connection string.

When you install Reporting Services, by default it is installed in native mode and the installation automatically cretaes the Report Server and Report Server TempDB databases. By default, the database names are reportserver and reportservertempdb, respectively.
