Hello:

I am implementing a new system using Postgres. Well most of the system will
be new,
but some parts will be very similar to a system currently running under
M$-SQL.

The first issue will be getting up to speed on PL/pgsql. Where can I find
primer on PL/pgsql, with lots of examples? How silimar is PL/pgsql to PL/SQL
under Oracle?

Thanks in Advance.

kd

The PostgreSQL documentation is the place to start:

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.0/i...e/plpgsql.html

The PostgreSQL distribution has a file with some examples in it:

src/test/regress/sql/plpgsql.sql

The pgEdit distribution (http://pgedit.com/download) has a fairly
extensive plpgsql example for importing and analyzing web server logs.

I'm not familiar with Oracle, but there is a porting section in the
documentation:
