    Types of Queries

    ● User queries : Create and run queries to


    retrieve data from the database directly from
    Windows-based Query Designer, or the web-
    based Query Manager/Query Viewer applications.

    ● Reporting queries : They can be used as data


    sources for ad hoc queries, scheduled queries,
    Crystal Reports, PS/nVision, or Cube Manager.

    Types of Queries

    ● Process queries : Write queries that are intended to run


    periodically by batch processes, most likely using PeopleSoft
    Application Engine and the Query API (application
    programming interface).

    ● Role queries : Write queries that PeopleSoft Workflow uses


    to determine to whom to send emails, forms, or worklist
    entries.

    PeopleSoft Query Security

    It is used to control the query operations that users can


    perform and the data to which they have access.

    ● Query Access Group Trees: It is used to control


    security of the tables in PeopleSoft database.
    Two nodes of Query Access Trees
    1. Groups
    2. Record

    Create Query Trees and Grant and
    Restrict access to groups

    Row-level Security

    ● Row-level security enables users to access a table


    without
    accessing all rows on that table.

    ● PS applications implement it by using a query security


    record (typically a view) specified on the record definition
    that joins the data table with an authorization table.

    ● Implemented using Query Security Record


    Definitions.

    Using Query Profiles

    ● Is used to specify the type of access users will have


    when
    they work with PeopleSoft Query.
