Excellent book for all technical programmers
I reviewed this book very recently and the author exceedingly well articulated the information. This book will give an insight to the beginners who wish to learn SQR in PeopleSoft. The authors deserve special thanks from me.

An Excellent Desk Reference
I work as PeopleSoft technical consultant and use this book at least once a week when writing and/or modifying SQR programs. It's a great desktop reference book - solid examples and easy-to-understand text. I use it to supplement the technical manuals that come with the SQR product.

From a functional PeopleSoft user's standpoint
I bought this book hoping it would supplement the PeopleSoft SQR class and in general was not disappointed, given my expectations. I knew it wouldn't include anything on PeopleSoft 8; thus the illustrations in the "SQR and PeopleSoft" section are dated. However, the examples in the section on working with effective-dated tables were very useful and apply to all releases. I haven't read the "Advanced Features" section of the book yet, because I was discouraged a bit when I had trouble grasping a few of the concepts in the SQR Basics section. I was pleased that their sample database, on which the reports are based, is modeled on the HRMS JOB, EMPLOYMENT, and PERSDATA tables; however, including sample output with each of their exercise/illustrations would have been helpful.In summary, if you are a pretty experienced functional person (I am a consultant), are motivated enough to invest the time to learn SQR, and have access to the tool, this may be a good choice. Certainly more information (understandably) than you can get from a five-day SQR class.
