You would also have to assume that all the examples are non-destructive,
and that no one ever extends an example in a destructive way. This
seems like a non-starter. Better to provide the sample database in a
form in which it can be easily dropped/reloaded. I'm envisioning that
there's a source file in $sharedir and we tell people
createdb example
psql -f $sharedir/example.sql example
