Summary: Peoplesoft Books
Review: This book is the model for future authors of ERP. ERP is not an easy subject matter to write about since it involves aspects from varied academic and business-practical standpoints.In particular, the Landres were able to break down elements from SQR and how it integrates with the PeopleSoft application. They do so in a manner which is easy to read (from a programming standpoint) without getting buried in irrelevant academic explanations. The target audience are technical people who 1) are faced with understanding SQR (with or without PS) at a technical managerial level 2) need to write sqr's from scratch 3) need to modify delivered sqrs 4) really are functional but need to understand how SQR impacts functionality. The readers who do not fit this profile should not purchase this book since the authors do not really delve into SQR as a strategic tool vs. other reporting tools (Actuate, IBI, Query/Crystal, nVision, Cognos, Essbase, etc). However, I consider this book to be a breakthrough and should be considered a vital reference book for anyone who can spell PeopleSoft.

Review: You need this book if you are going to write SQR(s). However, you won't use it much with PS 8. You'll use App Engine.
