Hello,

Does anyone know of any companies that offer PostgreSQL
training? Preferably on the East Coast in the DC area?

Thanks
Tina

Hello,

I am looking for any advice about PostgreSQL training courses that might be
available.  I have been a PostgreSQL DBA for the past 3+ years and have over
7 years experience as a DBA and am wanting to improve and hone my skills.  I
would like to learn more about PostgreSQL and learn tips, tricks, and more
about tuning.  Is there anything out there like the Oracle classes that are
available (especially classes taught by people who have done the work, and
not just studied a book)?

I did run across www.otg-nc.com, does anyone have comments on their admin
and performance tuning classes?  This is very appealing to me since they are
only a few hours away.

Are there any others?

Also, has anyone ever created the equivalence of Oracle Certification for
PostgreSQL?  Just thought if I'm going to pay for training, it would be nice
to end up with a cert to show for all the monies spent. :)

Thanks,

Chris

P.S.

Feel free to reply off list  if needed.

:)

Big Nerd Ranch and OTG both specialize in training.

Command Prompt, and EnterpriseDB offer training as part of a further 
portfolio.

They're on the east coast, right? I know that we (EnterpriseDB) will  
be having a class in Islen, NJ mid-june, if that's more convenient.

Also note that RedHat does PostgreSQL training:

https://www.redhat.com/training/developer/courses/rdb147.html

Note, however, that this is "RedHat Database" training.  "RedHat Database" 
was a rebranded PostgreSQL 7.3.4 introduced back around 2004; so I'm not 
sure if this training would include anything that is "Postgres Generic" 
or any features introduced after 7.3.4.

Cheers,
-J

While we're following up, I'd note that OmniTI does training as well, though 
we tend to focus on technical services rather than strict training like a Big 
Nerd Ranch.  Also be sure to check the main page at www.postgresql.org, where 
we list all sorts of training classes.

SRA created a program back in the 7.4 days (I'm certified woohoo!), though I'm 
not sure it is still activly offered in the USA (I believe it is in Japan 
though). HTH

A coworker and I used EnterpriseDB for our training in the intro and
advanced Postgres admin courses.  We went with on-demand training, and it
was pretty useful and convenient.  We didn't have to stop everything for a
week or so just to get training, and it followed our schedule.  I didn't
really feel like we missed out being without a live instructor, plus there
were opportunities for remote Q&A.  In my opinion, paying travel would have
been a waste of money.

All the feedback we get from attendees says that live training is much
better for the attendee, if the trainer is sufficiently qualified to
properly answer questions and discuss and explain related insights.
And if the trainer flies to you, its no problem at all. Having said
that, we've also found that people say they get more out of a course
if they take a few days out to concentrate on the subject, not get
continually interrupted by emails and calls.

That's only based upon about a thousand attendees in last 5 years, so
I'm sure there are many other opinions. YMMV.

I note that live training in some subjects is now completely fully
booked at pgconf.eu.
