On the PostgreSQL web site, or perhaps on your own server if you've installed the documentation. http://www.postgresql.org/ Follow the "Documentation" link, then follow the "Online Manuals" link for whatever version of PostgreSQL you're running. The PL/pgSQL documentation is under "Server Programming." > How close to Oracle PL-SQL is Postgres? Would a Oracle PL-SQL book cover the basics? The PL/pgSQL documentation has a "Porting from Oracle PL/SQL" section. -- Michael Fuhr http://www.fuhr.org/~mfuhr/
