Re: SQR going away in PeopleSoft 8?

[Sam Spritzer <teknogeek9@YAHOO.COM>]

Denise,
That is the other mystery.  WHO supports the PS
version of SQR.  First of all, I highly doubt PS has
the resources to provide true bona-fide SQR support,
regardless of what flavor.  Would you sit behind a
monitor with some phone set plugged into your ear all
day for $40,000 (or whatever they pay) a year?  I
doubt it.  Heck, I am not even sure what PS's
intentions are with their flavor of SQR but like I
said before, I do remember someone mentioning getting
away from SQR in favor of AE.  Maybe what they are
trying to do is "link" AE to the SQR code...who knows.
 Kind of like MS Access and its relationship to VB.
SQRly yours,
Sam
