Atlanta, GA - November 5, 2004 - Ring in the New Year with PostgreSQL
Bootcamp January 17-21, 2005

Big Nerd Ranch, a leading provider of intensive training classes for
developers and systems administrators, announces the latest offering of
its PostgreSQL Bootcamp from January 17-21, 2005. The PostgreSQL
database solution has compared favorably to such giants as Oracle for
its scalability, robustness, flexibility, and ability to secure data
integrity. Database administrators particularly enjoy the wide network
of support and community that comes with open-source programming.

PostgreSQL is rapidly spreading throughout a spectrum of industries as
a viable, low-cost, and easily administered database solution. Its
utility fluidly traverses the needs of medical, accounting, e-business
and sales applications. Because it boasts the ability to expand as the
database grows without sacrificing speed or stability, it provides a
welcome relief for companies struggling with proprietary designs that
quickly become obsolete as needs change and become more demanding.

Bootcamp instructor Chris Campbell expounded on PostgreSQL's
capabilities, remarking, "Whether you need a compact and elegant system
or an enterprise-level solution, PostgreSQL is perfect. In five
intensive days of training at the Big Nerd Ranch, you will come out of
the course equipped to begin incorporating this incredible tool in your
projects."

A relatively recent addition to the Big Nerd Ranch's curriculum,
PostgreSQL Bootcamp has rapidly become one of the most popular
offerings, neatly fitting in with its other new offerings - Apache, PHP
and Python.
