I assume the EntrerpriseDB certification seminars are an obvious quick answer: http://www.enterprisedb.com/products-services-training/training/dba-training But TBH, I find the PostgreSQL manual to be an excelent guide if you don't mind reading. It is extremely well written (kudos to whoever is on the writing team), definitely written by experts, it delves reasonably enough into detail where needed and most of all: it serves not only as a Pg manual, but as a DB theory/good practice manual as well. I realize that 2.8Kpages is not easy to digest, but the first 30 Chapters seem to cover more than enough to just get you started (though not Slony/pgpool). best regards, Thalis K.

I'm hoping to find something that can cover basic administration, performance optimization topics, and clustering tools like Slony and pgpool for someone. I realize that PostgreSQL documentation is a great resource, but I'm looking for something more intensive and expert-driven.
