Hi, LPI-Japan, a non-profit distributor of LPIC(Linux Professional Institute Certification) in Japan will start "OSS-DB" exam from July 1st, 2011. LPI-Japan is known as one of the largest distributor of LPIC in the world(according to LPI-Japan they have distributed 164k LPIC so far). http://www.oss-db.jp/news/press/20110608_04.shtml According to LPI-Japan, OSS-DB will be ready for several open source databases in the future. However the initial version will only support PostgreSQL(!) To develop OSS-DB, many companies, including NEC, Hitachi, Fujitsu, NTT and SRA OSS, have been working with LPI-Japan. I hope OSS-DB will significantly contribute to making PostgreSQL more popular in Japan. -- Tatsuo Ishii SRA OSS, Inc.
