Okay, it is an argument. On the other side, it was a question today in
the irc-channel (#postgresql) today, someone asked, why his funktion
don't work. I think, such examples should not contain such code. It is
not apparent that this function are not available.
Perhaps the whole chapter could be improved if all the examples referred
to a set of tables and functions previously defined in the introduction
of the chapter. It would be good if the user could cut'n paste the code
and try it out directly, instead of having to reverse engineer the
tables/columns used for each example (and they're quite inconsistent).
Also, some examples give the complete code including CREATE FUNCTION and
others don't.
It might also be useful to create such a database at initdb time so
newbies have something interesting to look at right away.
No, there is no need to clutter every installation in the world with
such a database. You could make it an addon module, or a pgfoundry project.
