PeopleSoft couldn't prevent us from purchasing SQR internally, and continuing to use it (Could they??).  We have over 1000  custom SQR's (and growing daily).  There is no way on earth we would ever re-write them, if we could get around it.

Let's keep in mind that SQR is not *only* built for Peoplesoft or Maximo or
any other particular application or paltform.  It is independent of all
those considerations.  The product will continue, even without Peoplesoft,
because it is so robust and non-propietary for RDBMS.  Also, even if it does
'go away' from peoplesoft, that doesn't mean you have to stop using it.....

Isn't this kind of a moot point since the party line in Pleasanton is that
SQR will completely go away in Version 9??

SQR Enthusiasts,

I'm thinking about updating my page of Suggested Enhancements for SQR
and am looking for fresh ideas.  What would make SQR even more useful
to your organization?  What would make your job easier?  Are there
projects within your organization where SQR was not chosen but would
have if it had just one thing added?  If you could add a few features
to SQR or Brio Report Builder (BRB), what would they be?

Some ideas to spark your imagination:

   Full-featured IDE for SQR (including debugger support)
   Java-based extensibility for SQR (like ucall and ufunc)
   Support for your favorite database or platform
   SPF viewers for XWindows and Macintosh
   BRB for Xwindows and Macintosh
   Toolkit for interfacing directly with MQ Series
   Toolkit for interfacing directly with mail systems

Where do you to go with SQR today?

The existing ideas can be seen at:
