Rather than having direct documentation here, we may want to consider updating the examples subproject with a SQL-based path. One advantage of that is that we compile and test that project as part of PRB, so it's more hardened against bit rot. But this is probably fine for now

I kind of like having a little bit of code in the original page, before people start diving in.
Good point about the examples subproject though, looks like it's similar to the yamsql docs files, but targeted towards Java code.
Probably not something for this PR, but good to know, thanks!

Removed link to submit documentation feedback.
