A lot of things with Sequel are order dependent, and it's not always 
obvious why (e.g. why should pg_hstore be loaded before pg_hstore_ops). 
 I've written a guide to try to explain in which order things should be 
done (http://sequel.jeremyevans.net/rdoc/files/doc/code_order_rdoc.html).

I think the general problem with a cookbook is that each recipe is 
generally only helpful to a small percentage of people.  So you might read 
the whole cookbook and find a single thing that is helpful.

Don't get me wrong, Sequel should be better documented, but I prefer to 
document things in a structured manner, as opposed to a cookbook with a 
bunch of unrelated recipes.  However, I do not want to discourage anyone 
else from writing such a cookbook, if they are so inclined.

Thanks,
Jeremy
