Seems to work in both 2005 and 2008: SELECT Path, Name, SourceCode = CAST(CAST(content AS VARBINARY(max)) AS XML) FROM ReportServer.dbo.Catalog WHERE Type IN (2,6) ORDER BY Path, Type, Name Got it from here: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/forums/en-US/sqlreportingservices/thread/0cd1a40a-1987-4712-80c8-e876df4daf86/ I came across this simple query for pulling the actual RDL XML out of the catalog table.
