Report Services (SSRS) 2005 connect database in Microsoft SQL Server 2014 - sql-server

Currently I am working on a project it is request us to connect their database (Server A with Microsoft SQL Server 2014) via SSRS (Server B with Microsoft SQL Server 2005).
I keep facing the problem with this message :
The version of the report server database is either in a format that
is not valid, or it cannot be read. The found version is '162'. The
expected version is 'C.0.8.54'. To continue, update the version of the
report server database and verify access rights.
(rsInvalidReportServerDatabase) (rsRPCError) Get Online Help
Can anyone help me? Thanks a lot.

I think the problem is likely to be that the ReportServer database has been created using SQL Server 2014. Trying to connection a SQL Server 2005 Report Server installation to that database will not work because they are not compatible. If it is possible to run Reporting Services with a configuration like this at all, and I'm not sure that it is, you will need to have a ReportServer database that was created using SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services Configuration Manager.

SQL Server Express 2014 - ##version 2008

I have a question reharding strange behavior of Sql Server. I had sql server 2008 edition which I uninstalled and installed SSMS Express 2014 instead. However I could not perform any advanced analytics on sample northwind db i.e. lead, lag, preceding etc.
When I asked the program ##version, the output was 2008sp4.
How may it be that SSMS2014 has 2008 engine? How to fix it?
There two applications such as SQL Server and SSMS.
SQL Server is a windows service which stores data. It does not have user interface.
SSMS is an UI application which connects to SQL Server to manipulate data by T-SQL language. It has user interface.
When you execute ##version, then you get a version of SQL Server.
If you want to know your SSMS version, then just click Help -> About

SSRS 2014 database setup - error "Using other editions of SQL Server for report data sources..." is not supported

I am setting up a new SQL Server 2014 Enterprise Reporting Services instance on a Windows Server 2012 R2 server.
In Reporting Services Configuration Manager, when I select the SQL Server instance where I want to setup a new report database, the error message below is shown:
The feature: "Using other editions of SQL Server for report data sources and/or the report server database" is not supported in this edition of Reporting Services.
Error:
The SQL Server instance where I intend to setup the report database runs SQL Server 2014 Developer Edition build 12.0.4422 (which is displayed in Management Studio and ##version) and the SQL Server instance where I am configuring Reporting Services runs also MSQL 2014 build 12.0.4422 as displayed in Reporting Services Configuration Management - but Enterprise Edition (I've just installed SQL Server Cumulative Update 2 from https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3075950).
If I select an instance which runs SQL Server 2008 R2 Enterprise Edition build 10.50.4260 instead, the error is not shown and the setup proceeds correctly - but unfortunately this is not the instance where the report database should be.
What am I missing here? How can I solve this issue?
Thanks in advance,
Cristhian.
This behavior is correct. The reporting services database is supported on a wide range of versions.
You are not allowed to use a production reporting services against a developer version database. (Why would you want to!). You can either use a developer edition of reporting services, or an enterprise database.

Unable to connect to SQL Server in Hydro GeoAnalyst

I have installed Hydro GeoAnalyst 2014.2 and i have started trial and wanted to install demo project. Firstly, i must select data source type, available server and database name. I select data soruce type, then i write sql server instance name and then related combobox filled my databases. Finally, i select my database.
I use Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Express but Hydro GeoAnalyst return an error when i want to connect my database on MS SQL. Then i have installed Microsoft SQL Server 2014 Express and Hydro GeoAnalyst returned the same error:
Unable to Connect 'AYSE/SWS'. Ensure that the SQL Server exists and is running.
I have controlled my MS SQL Server 2012 and 2014 on SQL Server Management Studio and they works with no problems. I have controlled SQL Server Configuration Manager but no solution. Why do i take this error ? Is this because of express edition of SQL Server ?
Please help. Thanks in advance.
I send error picture:
If you are using SQL Server Express installed on another machine (not your local machine) make sure you have it configured for remote connections (http://blog.citrix24.com/configure-sql-express-to-accept-remote-connections/).
Also Please be aware that the vendor support email for Hydro GeoAnalyst has changed to support#waterloohydrogeologic.com. If you continue to experience difficulties contact them and they will be happy to look into the issue further.

SQL Server 2012 Browser Service doesn't appear

I've installed SQL Server 2012 and Management Studio Express. I attached the database that belongs my previous Project in Visual Studio. But I am having SqlException Error , I think the reason of the error is SQL Server. Because when I look at active services, I only see SQL Server VSS Writer service. I can't see SQL Server Browser Service and other SQL Server services. How can I solve this problem? Thanks in advance.
When you run SQL Server Express, by default, the named instance option is selected with SQLExpress as the instance name. Ab example "SERVER01\SQLEXPRESS".
You should have a browser service but can you give the SQL Exception you're having because this migth have a clue what's going wrong.

sharepoint 2007 from sql server to oracle

I installed WSS 2007 on one of our test server to see if sharepoint is worth going forward for our group. The problem is, it installed a version of sql server and we are using oracle. So, I will need to move sharepoint from sql server to oracle. We can't use sql server we have to use oracle.
I have two questions:
1. sql server to oracle transition for sharepoint
2. Is there a performance drawback when we move from sql server to oracle with sharepoint.
I tried to look for resources on web but couldn't find much. Any ideas/help would be appreciated.
This is not possible - SharePoint can only run on SQL Server:
Installation Guide for Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007
The database server must be running
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 or Microsoft
SQL Server 2000 with the most recent
service pack.
Enterprise Sharepoint? – Port it to Oracle
I have concluded my only real problem
with SharePoint is that you can’t run
it on Oracle.
If you had shown me SharePoint, not
told me it was from Microsoft and said
you can use it with Oracle as a back
end, I am sure my reaction to it would
have been far different.
