Newbie question on Reporting Services

The shop I work in is new to SQL Server and this fall we are installing
Sql Server 2005 with Reporting Services. Apparently the application the
database will support will use Reporting Services. A question is
arising on whether the created report(s) is considered a database
object. That is, if one creates and saves off a report in Test, is this
report migrated to production or is the same object in the same
location simply used by production?
Many thanks in advance.
GerryYou deploy reports to the server. If you have a test server and a
development server, the best is to deploy it to test and then when you are
ready, deploy it to production. Reporting services stores the report
metadata in the database. RS is an asp.net application that heavily uses the
database for its object/metadata storage, scheduling etc.
