Replacing Tables

Greetings-
Is there a postgres equivalent to the  CREATE OR REPLACE TABLE ....
command in MySQL?  I've looked trough the docs and can't find it.

Also, I have been using plpgsql to generate stored procedures; are there
tutorials or manuals available?  Again, I've been looking for books on
Amazon, O'Reilly, and Sams but can't find much on plpgsql.  I have a
library of about 40 routines which generate XML from my database  and
would like to know more about the language.

Thanks for your help,
--greg
