Hi All,

I want to learn MSBI(SSIS,SSAS and SSRS) tools.

Please suggest me some books for SQL server 2012 and MSBI 2012 version.
TIA.

I'm not sure there is much out on 2012 yet. There should be some good stuff coming out over the next couple of months, but if you don't already know the SQL BI tools, I'd suggest start now with 2008 anyway, since most of it will be the same, and in that case I'd recommend going straight with the Training Kit for the 70-448 exam, since its a really good book on its own:

http://www.amazon.com/MCTS-Self-Paced-Training-Exam-70-448/dp/0735626367/ref=sr_1_11?ie=UTF8&qid=1330446233&sr=8-11

Another advantage of this is that if you want to get the 2012 certification it helps to know the prior version anyway since the tests usually focus on "new features" so its good to know the old feather in order to know what is new and how those new features can be used to solve problems that in ways that couldn't be done with the old features, since a large part of MS certification tests focuses on this type of stuff.

They will sometimes give you questions, with multiple possible answer, one being the old way to do things and one being the new way, and they say "choose the best", and they want to to say the new way (regardless of reality, but in most cases the new way is actually better).
