Re: New to PostgreSQL

The docs is definitely a great and easy to read resource. If you're
looking for a class, you can check out the OTG group:
http://www.otg-nc.com/training-courses/coursedetail.php?courseid=40&cat_
id=8
An online Postgres book (practical postgresql) can also be found at

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.
