Hello all,

I would like to discuss an idea to transform PostgreSQL documentation into
PostgreSQL tables.

Why?

* self documentation
* simplify embeding documentation for IDE
* more structure
* search-ability

How?

I think, create prototype extension or just a database dump.

Questions?

What possible schemata do you see for such database?
What is a best way to keep it uptodate and distribute?
What is a best tools to handle sgml?

more:

make code samples in documentation potentially executable on this database -
a way to interactive documentation
