Hullo List, Following up on a recent thread (http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-general/2007-11/msg00064.php) ... Next question and one that I'm not sure how to phrase: how does one become a Postgres-savvy* DBA? Just by working with it as a developer and then moving "up the ranks"? (i.e working with larger, more active setups/datasets?) There's the training options listed on http://www.postgresql.org/about/eventarchive, but I'm personally skeptical at just how much one can retain from a 1-to-5 day course. My question is not from a certification standpoint; rather it stems from an actual-understanding standpoint and "what do I need to able to do to be able to honestly say that 'I am a Postgres DBA' on my resume" standpoint. (I'm not actually planning to become a DBA; I'm just curious.) Thanks, Kevin * Am I assuming too much already by not defining what a DBA is in general? ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: explain analyze is your friend
