Point taken. Hmmm... when we finish the current project, I
ought to have more than a few dozen PL/PGSQL functions as
examples. I can definitely talk to my help writer about
dressing those up into an educational "chapter". It'll cost
me a little more than $0.05, but is only my fair
contribution. Look for something in february-march.
