I like this idea. Every implementation of SQL has its individual
personality, and postgres is no exception. A solutions-oriented list (or
cookbook, if you want) will help everyone. It can be organized by
categories/types of queries (e.g., single table, multiple table; finding
missing values, finding duplicate values) and may be better hosted on the
web site as a table or dynamic (but moderated) list.

Please add my vote.
