Thread: Additions to the Oracle porting doc

    I am expanding the Porting from Oracle chapter of the documentation to
include SQL contructs such as decode, nvl, etc.
    Should I create another chapter separate of the "Porting from Oracle
PL/SQL" chapter or have one big chapter "Porting from Oracle" that
includes everything related to porting from Oracle?

    Thanks,

    -Roberto

Maybe this should be a separate document (book, article) altogether.  The
techdocs site seems to be a great place for these things.

I'd agree to that!

:-)

Creating a new site layout at present, and helping a mirror site in
Turkey get up and running.

Regards and best wishes,

imho the topic is best packaged as one chapter, until it becomes large
enough to become a book, or part of a book such as "Porting - To And
From Other Products".
