Summary: A Great Help
Review: Bromwich = PEOPLESOFT GURU! Where does one accurately find information in PeopleSoft? It can be a complex question. Great at lending tips that could easily be overlooked or distorted. Consider that there are over 5000 tables(seems like he covers 10% of the core tables!) in the PeopleSoft HRMS database and one has some ground to cover. Technical drivel(none!) Bromich CLEARLY breaks down many topics such as effective dating, and tables that organize HRMS, yet he beats a healthy dose of technical and funtional understanding into the reader. A much needed work.

Summary: Great Book for quick start
Review: I am a DBA and wanted to work on building a warehouse for PeopleSoft HRMS along with generating reports for the client. This book really helped me and my team to understand the hr/payroll concepts quickly. If you are a DBA/developer working in Peoplesoft environment, good to have this book in your library.

Summary: Clear guide to HR and IT, with examples
Review: This book gave us an inside view to PeopleSoft's benefits and faults. It was straightforward and helped everyone on our team, from managers to DBAs. We bought one for everyone on our IT team, and our functional staff as well. The book is organized well, and contains detailed information about all of the HR functions, including many things that are not mentioned in the manuals. It is best used as a reference tool-- I can quickly look up a complex concept and have it explained clearly with examples.

Summary: A treasure for technical and functional users
Review: This book is a treasure for anyone who needs to get quickly up-to-speed on the PeopleSoft HRMS data architecture and the most common tables against which queries and reports are executed. This alone would make the book invaluable because of the confusing PeopleSoft documentation and the thousands of tables. However, the author goes well beyond by breaking down the most important tables, grouped by function, into attributes and explaining how to create highly useful business reports from them. In addition to the thorough coverage of the data architecture, the book also provides an excellent compendium of information and tips for using SQR to its fullest potential. Although my main interest is in the tables, I considered material on SQR to be a bonus and learned a great deal from this section. If you are working with PeopleSoft on either the technical or functional side this book will probably be your most used reference. The author deserves the highest accolades for clear writing, technical knowledge and the ability to distill the essentials into one of the best references and tutorials I've read in a long time.

Summary: Covers the main tables very well and accurate
Review: This was a good book for me because I work with PeopleSoft HR7.5 converting to 8.0, I'm resonsible for the interfaces to payroll and extract data from the PeopleSoft tables for various vendors. This book covers all the important tables and has very good SQL samples. This book does not cover the online or PeopleTools but did very good job covering batch/reporting.
