📊Business Intelligence: Report Snapshot (Definitions)

"A SQL Server Reporting Services report that contains data that was queried at a particular point in time and has been stored on the Report Server." (Victor Isakov et al, "MCITP Administrator: Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Optimization and Maintenance (70-444) Study Guide", 2007)

"A report that contains data captured at a specific point in time. Since report snapshots hold datasets instead of queries, report snapshots can be used to limit processing costs by running the snapshot during off-peak times." (Darril Gibson, "MCITP SQL Server 2005 Database Developer All-in-One Exam Guide", 2008)

"A report that contains data captured at a specific point in time. A report snapshot is stored in an intermediate format containing retrieved data rather than a query and rendering definitions." (Jim Joseph et al, "Microsoft® SQL Server™ 2008 Reporting Services Unleashed", 2009)

"A static report that contains data captured at a specific point in time." (Microsoft, "SQL Server 2012 Glossary", 2012)
