Summary: Excellent book for all technical programmers
Comment: 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.

Summary: GREAT BOOK
Comment: The scope of coverage is complete. It is understandable to someone with little experience while briskly moving from one topic to the next, with good examples. The material is organized well - simple to complex SQR, then putting SQR's online into Peoplesoft, then the nitty gritty of working with history and interfaces with Peoplesoft. Glossaries are at the end. It's not too long, not too short. The author is stimulating, not belabored with theory, yet topics are thorough and more than one example is used. Look for a great style - doing something slightly wrong, and then the author pointing it out and repeating the answer with the correct solution. Printing summaries at the end of each chapter is good. Illustrating points with call-out boxes overimposed onto actual programming code is also a great technique. The more advanced techniques the reader is able to master, the more valuable this book becomes. Specifically, arrays in chapter 11, loops in chapter 10, substitution topics in chapter 9, using breaks in reporting in chapter 8, are all intricate tools useful to the serious SQL programmer. Check out the entire table of contents at http://www.manning.com/Landres/Contents.html This book is for SQR programmers, project leaders, DBA's, installation consultants, consulting programmers. There are many books on SQL and SQR, including complete Oracle References. And there is book that is handed out at the Peoplesoft class on SQR. Landres' book is different in that it gives SQR from A to Z, it gives the Peoplesoft related topics, it gives actual upgrade and history topics (which I've seen nowhere). And unlike the Oracle books which are geared for DBA's, the approach is directed towards the specific goal of writing Peoplesoft SQR's. SQR for Peoplesoft is great and I highly recommend it.

Summary: From a functional PeopleSoft user's standpoint
Comment: 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.
