Trivadis published their guidelines for PL/SQL & SQL in 2009 in the context of the DOAG conference in Nuremberg. Since then these guidelines have been continuously extended and improved. Now they are managed as a set of markdown files. This makes the guidelines more adaptable for individual application needs and simplifies the continous improvement.

HTML is the primary output format. Material for MkDocs is used to generate static HTML files and Mike to publish version specific variants. The following sites are available:

• Current version based on the main branch, snapshot version of the coming release
• Latest Release
• Releases
  • Version 4.0
  • Version 3.6
  • Version 3.5
  • Version 3.4
  • Version 3.3

PDF is the secondary output format. wkhtmltopdf is used to produce it.

Starting with version 3.5 you may access the PDF document from the appendix in the HTML site.

The PDF version is also accessible per version from Releases.

You find all releases and release information here.
