Seems that rules doesn't work.
There is an example how to create a rule to update a view on "man create view"
--Specify deletion semantics for toyemp
create rule example1 as

do instead delete emp

Should I document CREATE RULE or ...?

How about posting a question to the docs list _and_ to the hackers list
saying you are writing docs on CREATE RULE and asking for a working
example. There are one or two people who have been working on this
recently, and they should be able to help.

You are rigth. Please there's somebody that can HELPPPPPPPPPPP me ???

- Do you know what kind of privilege one may have on indexes or sequences ?

Indices - none, since they are just optimizations for tables.
Sequences - not sure. Ask on the lists?

btw, how is it going?

- Very well. We have already the following 12 pages:

Great! Are you writing with the SGML markup, or are we adding that
later?

For now I'm writing it in text mode, later I, or someone else can convert
it to SGML. What do you think about ?

I have a few questions about some statements:

* ABORT is the same as COMMIT.
* END is the same as ROLLBACK.

No, the opposite:
ABORT == ROLLBACK
END == COMMIT

Yes. I know.

I suppose that ABORT and END are both deprecated feature and I'm thinking
to skip this pages.

Hmmm. It does raise the question: where should they go? I'm guessing
that they are holdovers from the PostQuel language, but don't know for
sure. We should either document them or remove them from the parser.

How about writing a doc page for them, but basically _only_ show syntax
and then say that they are equivalent to, for example, ROLLBACK, and
refer to that doc for more info?
