Can SSRS used to Update or Modify data tables? We all know SSRS (SQL Server Reporting Services) is to read data.

However, can SSRS be utilized to update rows or insert rows, and should it?

I am seeing resources here, where you can take user input parameters and update rows.
Just inquiring if it is advisable/allowed to use that tool in such a way. Does Microsoft have anything against doing that?

Resources stating this:

If Madeira Data shows you how to do it, then I think it's safe to say:

It's possible.

It can be made to work, as evidenced by this paragraph from them:

It’s especially good when your organization doesn’t have skilled programmers that can create a pretty-looking graphical user interface (GUI). Or when there are budget and / or time restrictions.



Deciding if this kind of setup will work for you is entirely your decision.
