Thread: Has anyone attended PostgreSql classes
I have been using PostgreSql for four years now. I am the official DBA. I would like to go through a formal DBA training class. If you have been to formal PostgreSql training could you please send me your recommendations? Positive and negative recommendations would both be appreciated. I plan to attend training somewhere within the US.
Thanks,

For a classroom setting I would suggest OTG (http://www.otg-nc.com/), they are a known contributor and I have heard very good things about their classes from my smaller customers (my bigger customers use us ;)).

I went to the 5 day class at OTG that Chander taught. I thought he was really good and the price couldn't be beat. I was a total novice and found the class challenging. I'm not sure how one might feel if they had as much experience as you. Campbell, Lance wrote: > I have been using PostgreSql for four years now. I am the official > DBA.

Chander at OTG is an excellent instructor, and OTG's materials are excellent. The PosgresQL Database Administration class does start at the beginning, but the Performance Tuning class has more advanced topics, and there may be another advanced administration class in the works. I highly recommend him. Mija Lee wrote: > I went to the 5 day class at OTG that Chander taught. I thought he was > really good and the price couldn't be beat.
