Hope you find time to get back to it, and I'll be happy to help with sgml markup. btw, if you could finish a first draft (or have enough sections to be usable) within a month or so there is a good chance we can get it included in the v7.0 release. Much later than that and we'll probably miss the window... - Thomas -- Thomas Lockhart lockhart@alumni.caltech.edu South Pasadena, California
This looks really good. Please, please, please keep working on this documentation. Wish I'd had your work several months ago!!

I'm sure people would be *very* interested in them for the upcoming release, and if you need some help on finishing the writing or editing I'm sure there will be some volunteers.

I'm willing to help with explanations. But I won't have the time to write docs in time for the release. In fact I even haven't found the time to tackle my one and only todo item for 7.0. BTW I have a problem with a user defined function. I posted a question about some time ago but got no answer. The source is part of our source tree (pgsql/src/interfaces/ecpg/test[test5.pgc|stp.pgc]). I can insert it but when I execute it I get a result of -220 which is not exactly the minimu of 14 and 7. Any ideas? Just hitting make in ecpg/test should build the binaries. YOu just have to adjust the path in test5.pgc. Michael -- Michael Meskes | Go SF 49ers!
