"... friends ... he ..."?

Is this an ad for c***c.com?  What is your connection to them?

Well, since the PostgreSQL CE 8 Silver exam itself isn't very well 
defined as an industry certification goes, whether or not Certmagic's 
prep helps you pass or not isn't too exciting to talk about.  Unlike 
most of the commercial databases, there is no official certification 
available for PostgreSQL from the vendor, as there is no real vendor 
here.  SRA does their CE certification, EnterpriseDB has some 
certification exams related to their training, and we're happy to print 
certificates for students who pass our training classes too.  But 
without any standardized testing guidelines that go beyond tests 
developed by individual training companies, PostgreSQL certification 
really doesn't result in the same sort of credibility that, say, Oracle 
or Cisco certification does.
