Customer Reviews

Useful In Very Specific Situtaions
I was disappointed. The book isn't awful, but the first pages available in the preview are misleading. The book mentions all the types of query tools it covers. However, with the exception of the SAP Query Tool, all other tools are given a cursory look at best. We use the Quickviewer in my work and this book showed me very little new about it. I was able to find better, more complete information on the internet for free.

If you have very specific query uses or may be able to influence what tools your business gives you, then this is a good book. If you're more or less a cog in the machine taking what they give you, then this book is only relevant if what you've got is the SAP Query tool.

Good book - actually all that is available
Not much is written about SAP Query Reporting, so when I saw this book, I bought it right away. It does offer a good overview and some good details as well. There is even some good background information included. However, like another reviewer said, the SAP Query Reporting tool isn't that great but that is no fault of the author.

Well written - a very clear overview of SAP queries
I recently started as an SE ("Solutions Engineer" - otherwise knows as 'demo guy') for a partner of SAP. My experience includes 20 years in the software industry at other companies, but as as this is my first exposure to SAP I looked for some coherent documentation (which IMHO is sadly lacking in most areas of the program).

Ms. Larocca-Signorlile actually writes in a clear and digestible manner - making sense of the processes rather than focusing purely on rote instructions. I only hope she will write documentation for other areas of SAP software, of that other writers will mimic her style.
