SQR

Structured Query Report Writer is a PeopleSoft-delivered reporting tool. In industry it is used all too often in place of better and more advanced tools; and with the use of XML on the rise, a lot of SQR reports are going to be benched and replaced by XML reports. This book covers SQR because there are so many reports written in this reporting tool. SQR has a robust report-writing environment with complex procedural logic built in. It is also an easy language to learn and come up to speed quickly with. You can combine database retrieval and row processing. You can even embed PL/SQL in your reports and do complex database manipulation.
