Customer Reviews

Waste of money
I'm disappointed with this book. PeopleSoft PeopleBooks and Red Papers provide better explanation. The author, for the most part, did not add any value. I wasted $20 on this book.

The Expert Guide to PeopleSoft Security
The title may have expert in the name but this book is far from it. The author rehashs the same information ,what little there is, in most of the chapters. All of the data can be found in the 101 PeopleSoft manuals.

I found it very disappointing.

For the price and thickness, I was not expecting much when I purchased this. I must say though, that this little thing was very handy when designing queries to go against the PSoft database. It didn't always have the best answer or exactly what you are looking for, but if you are technically inclined, you can do that on your own. Both myself (a newbie at PSoft) and someone well versed would pop this open and look through the table listings and quickly identify where we needed to go.

I rarely recommend a book, but in this case - for building queries - I would recommend this one.
