You need to create the Sales Reporting shared SSRS data source. Which SSRS data connection type should you use?

OData is a REST-based protocol designed for consuming web service feeds and is not appropriate for a direct relational SQL Server database connection.

The Microsoft SQL Server connection type in SSRS uses the System.Data.SqlClient managed provider, which is purpose-built for SQL Server and natively supports stored procedures, T-SQL syntax, integrated Windows authentication, and connection pooling. It is the recommended and most performant option for SQL Server databases and provides full compatibility with all SQL Server engine features used in reporting.

ODBC is a generic connectivity layer that introduces an additional translation overhead and lacks native SQL Server feature support compared to the dedicated Microsoft SQL Server provider.

OLE DB is an older COM-based data access technology with reduced support in newer versions of SSRS and SQL Server, and it is not the recommended provider for SQL Server reporting connections.
