sql server reporting services:
A matrix is for pivot tables/cross tab queries. The list control, at least
in part, is used for form type reports with one record per page or for
free-form placement of controls, and a table is used for columns of data
with repeating rows, which is the most common type of report. Obviously
these are basic comparisions and not necessarily set in stone. For instance
you could use a list instead of a table and get the same results but since a
table already has established columns, rows, footers, and headers with I
don't know why you would.

Has anyone performed any analysis comparing the performance of a List vs. a
matrix and a table (inparticular rendering performance).

Other than obvious things like complexity, and groupings (single groups, row
groups and column groups), has anyone documented the reasons to use each
control.

Thanks

Jason

Thanks for the response, but what I am looking for is performance
information.

I understand the usages, just would like to know, given you can do of most
what can be done with one control, using the another, if performance over
development time was my priority, what would I pick.

I was responding to the second part of your question but neglected to state
that. I personally have never done a comparision between the report types.
I also think that all three are for different uses, so comparing them side
by side seems kind of pointless. Having said that, maybe someone else has a
differnet opinion.
