I have a question about Report services scale out deployment.

In the technet document it states that reporting services must be Enterprise edition for scale out deployment functionality, does anyone know if the database engine has to be Enterprise also, or can it be standard edition?

Here is the article excerpt from technet:

The Reporting Services edition must be Enterprise, Developer, or Evaluation. Standard edition does not support a scale-out deployment. You can create a scale-out deployment using a combination of editions as long as the edition supports the scale-out feature.

I realize this, and this is typically the case but the reason for the question is for an existing SQL Standard edition in production that we would like to add reporting services servers to. We would need to use Enterprise edition to be able to scale properly and I need to know if the database engine needs to be Enterprise also or if it is OK to stay as Standard.

If don't talk about license issue, should be fine to put dbs on sql standared edition.
