Well, another approach is to provide a set of 'real-life' mini project
examples to show the PG way of doing things, and link items in the code
to pages in the documentation.

An example mini project would be to show PHP users a way of updating
multiple tables from a single function call (pl/pgsql) or how to return
page 2 of a total of 8 pages the PG way (set returning functions), or
how to show the number of contributions each author in a list has made
(left outer joins...).
