Glad to hear that the plan is writing a detailed documentation. I'll probably
contribute as I did in the past, but I definitely don't have the time to find
out the correct syntaxes myself.
Yes, separate pages with links (where applicable) should be clear. IMHO,
putting everything in the same pages would be confusing and not useful: if I
need to check a PL/SQL syntax, I don't need to see the corresponding native
MariaDB syntax.

Oggetto: Re: [Maria-discuss] SQL_MODE=ORACLE documentation
IMHO, putting pointers each others will help instead of putting Oracle Syntax
in the mainline pages. This may cause confusion for the people who never used
oracle in firsthand.

Hello Federico,

With SQL_MODE='ORACLE' a completely new syntax has been introduced. Basic
syntax constructs of MariaDB become unavailable, but not all Oracle syntax
seems to be supported. Is there any plan to document the supported syntax?
Current documentation looks like an unfinished draft and doesn't save much time
for the poor user.
The difference between the native MariaDB (SQL/PSM based) syntax
and the Oracle PL/SQL syntax is described as a summary here:
https://mariadb.com/kb/en/libr ary/sql_modeoracle-from-mariad b-103/
Yes, the documentation will be improving.
We need to decide if we want two separate SQL/PSM and PL/SQL pages
on every topic.
For example, for the WHILE loop syntax,
do we need an new PL/SQL article similar to
https://mariadb.com/kb/en/libr ary/while/ ,
or should we put the PL/SQL WHILE syntax directly
on this page.
What do you think would be more readable?
I'm slightly inclined towards having separate pages
for SQL/PSM and PL/SQL, with links to each other
in the "See Also" section.
Regards,
Federico
