Re: Moving from Transact SQL to PL/pgSQL

For Oracle info, check out one of my recent posts:
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-sql/2005-01/msg00231.php

For TSQL, well, I was involved in project where we converted an Oracle db 
(with procs, functions, triggers, etc) to PostgreSQL and MS Sql Server. 
plpgsql and plsql are close enough where it isn't too hard to convert 
between the two. TSQL and plpgsql are quite different.

Hello:

I am starting a project using Postgres.  The requirements are very similar 
to work I have done in the past using M$-SQL.  Therefore, there are many 
Transact SQL stored procedures I need to port over to PL/pgSQL.

Where would I find documentation on PL/pgSQL, with examples?

How close to Oracle PL-SQL is Postgres?  Would a Oracle PL-SQL book cover 
the basics?

Remember be kind to the newbee.
