What are PeopleSoft® and PeopleSoft® Query?
The University of Maine System houses institutional data—the data the University of Maine System maintains concerning its students, employees, and finances—in three PeopleSoft® databases: Campus Solutions, Financials, and Human Resources. These PeopleSoft databases, within the University of Maine System, are referred to as MaineStreet.
With PeopleSoft Query, you can extract the precise information that you are looking for from our MaineStreet databases. The queries that you write can be as simple or as complex as necessary; they can be one-time queries or queries that you use repeatedly.
Query is NOT:
- A data analysis tool
- Computer programming
- Well suited for summaries or encapsulated looks at data
- Forgiving of a minor typo or logic error
Query is:
- A method to examine and report on data
- A way to get raw data for further analysis
- Very literal in how it processes your requests
and what it returns
