hi,

search or browse "functions" and "PL/pgSQL" (and tcl and c/spi), "triggers". 
enough to start-up ;-)
also, there is examples in the source's test directory.

but, you are right, not in depth enough. I asked Several times, in
different forms, in this list, NOT a SINGLE answer! Seems that
nice expert are scarce nowadays. Let me put those questions
together anyway, let's see ...

the difference between Oralce's PL/SQL and PL/pgSQL (so
that we can use the books on PL/SQL),

the difference between PL/pgSQL and tcl (note that postgreSQL also support 
tcl now),

does PL/pgSQL support array-like feature? how about tcl in postgreSQL?

if I want use OS (i.e. external to dababase), can I use PL/pgSQL or tcl? if 
in C (spi), is it easy? anyway to get perl involved?
