If you are soliciting general comments it would help to make it available
in a more accessible format:
http://www.ejurka.com/pgsql/docs/escfunc/
For general feedback it seems a little too table oriented with not enough
accompanying text. Describing what the argument reordering and duplicate
problem actually is would be helpful. Also an example including Java code
would help the understanding process of how to actually call these
functions. Mentioning Connection.nativeSQL() seems appropriate.
In terms of specific feedback:
- it should mention outer join escapes
- the translation of dayname is in the wrong column (Table 1.3)
- The comments should be full sentences, starting with a capital letter
ending with a period.
- Section titles should get some captialization.
- Provide html link to referenced JDBC Technology guide
- A number of typos/grammatical errors:
- First paragraph
- of of
- had to specify way -> had to speciy a way
- Second section (escaped scalar functions)
- tables are showing -> tables show
- The driver support -> The driver supports
- specification describe the -> specification describes the
