You know what I'd find really handy, in this vein?
A one page sheet that lists all of the standard stored functions,
categorized by area.
The book I most commonly keep around handy is _Practical PostgreSQL_,
where pages 176 thru 213 show usage info about the 'standard'
functions. Having that on one card would be invaluable...
