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/library/sql_modeoracle-from-mariadb-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/library/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.
