the next few months. The first two are in New York City and Arlington,
Virginia at the end of May. Other cities are later.

Come to think of it someone from the core developers of postgres should give such classes at one of the usenix conferences. Mind you I've never been to any of those conferences. But it's very tantalizing to me especially I can get a student discount. What you have up on the web page seems to be geared towards the managers who will make purchasing decision and who won't actually be involved in designing and implementing the real thing. IMO.

I do have a new performance tuning article at:
http://candle.pha.pa.us/main/writings/pgsql/performance/index.html
and my book does have a chapter on performance:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/awbook.html
but certainly it would be nice to have such a class. There will be some
stuff at the O'Reilly Conference in July.

The first half is for managers, the second for developers, but they are
not going to go very deep.

The organization I work for is conveniently located in Washington, DC USA, one block from a Metro stop, and has both a conventional training room, and a computer training lab. Our lab is networked, on the Internet, and has a dual boot Linux/Win98 install. If anyone would be willing to teach a class about PostgreSQL, but needs space to do so, I'd be happy to offer space. Just let me know first. :-) -- Joel Burton <jburton@scw.org> Director of Information Systems, Support Center of Washington
