I am CC'ing Thomas and the documentation list. Feel free to look at our
SGML files and submit patches to add to that documentation.

Yes, it is possible to send snippets or (preferably) patches on the
current sgml docs. For a new doc chapter or section, I can mark it up in
SGML if you find that daunting.

Arbitrarily and capriciously ;) There are several folks who have
familiarity with the current docs, and who seem to lack any inhibitions
about changing them. So if you send something in, one of us will likely
plop it into the relevant section. Sometimes it is best to run your
ideas and intended contribution by the mailing list to get some feedback
early on. In this case, we know you are looking at the PL/SQL language,
and so plsql.sgml is the likely target. Fire away...

Hi all
I want to sugest to add a session in Pl/pgSQL documentation:
a "command reference" like the SQL commands reference with brief
description of the sintax and a link to the
proper location in atual document section for a detailed behavior.
It's because sometimes are hard to find the desired information in the
doc and seems to be more natural
see what commands are avaiable to reseach when we are working over a
program and we have doubts
about what to use.
Thanks in advance
Luiz Matsumura
