New to PostgreSQL

Good afternoon,

 

I am a database administrator who has worked with mainframe DB2 databases for 16 years.  I am brand new to PostgreSQL.  I just started a new job where

I am the only DBA in the company and am expected to ramp up as soon as possible.  Are there any courses available to me - either self-taught or

Classroom - that could provide me with a broad-brush introduction?  Right now my main resource is the PostgreSQL - The Comprehensive Guide,

By Korry and Susan Douglas - a very good reference that I am using as I tackle specific tasks.  I think a good overview would help me as I basically

Self-educate.

 

Thank you and I look forward to working with you through your mailing list.

Hi Mark,

We offer classroom based, instructor led, PostgreSQL Administration training.  We typically offer these courses a couple of times a quarter.  You can see a list of our PostgreSQL courses and their scheduled dates online at:

http://otg-nc.com/training-courses/category.php?cat_id=8

Most of our courses include an "all inclusive" option, which includes hotel, airfare, and training.  A 5 day Admin course (for example) including airfare and accommodation is $2,195 . 

We're also a financial supporter of the PostgreSQL project - so a portion of the money that you spend on training goes to the project...

Please feel free to contact me with any questions you might have regarding our course offerings.

Thank You
