I have this on the way. I started creating such document a
couple months ago when I was porting stuff from Oracle to PostgreSQL and
stumbled on the few examples on the documentation. I'd be glad to finish
it up, add more things to it and then put it somewhere for review,
comments, suggestions, additions, etc.
Part of this document will be on how to port Oracle PL/SQL to
Postgres' PL/SQL and PL/Tcl.
