For one I often see special characters like "1;#" before a value in a database field. I also cannot delete a Shadow Table, it says "unknown error". So I try to delete every field first and then try to delete the Shadow table but still no luck. I also noticed the website slows when the Shadowing service is running. This is a good idea you got going but unfortunately filled with bugs which sometimes make it impossible to query.

You can use the filter option inside your tables and charts to filter out data you don't want. You can also use the query function in the XML. I need to post the how to for that still. you can find a how to here

A few hours is enough to understand the query construction concepts. Though reporting directly over SharePoint data has some performance impact it has the important advantage to be permission aware. You can run reports with the credentials of the user running the report and retrieve only items for which the user has permissions. This may be even more important when rolling up list's items into an entire site collection. We believe that this approach is best suited for many scenarios (permission aware, report server centric, no sync management). However we realize that in other scenarios, when dealing with large lists for example, it may not necessary be the best fit. That's why we have also released "Enesys IS Data Extension", a set of Integration Services components that lets you integrate SharePoint data using Integration Services packages. Because we believe Enesys IS Data Extension is a complementary product (and not a replacement product), it is included with Standard and Enterprise Edition of our extension for Reporting Services. Of course, this is not to say that the other products mentioned here are not valid options to get the job done depending on its needs.

It takes the pain out of creating clean, normalized SQL Server tables from your SharePoint lists and libraries. SQList is a Windows service; all it needs to access your SharePoint data is a user with at least read permissions and it will keep your SQL tables constantly up to date.

I ended up creating utility that went down the Data duplication path, but not on an over night batch, instead I used Item Event Handlers to make the data replication occur in real-time. It has been hugely sucessful and it's now become a fully bonfied product (i-PMO's SharePoint Data Miner). Adrian Hi,
