Hi,
I'm interested in learning PG because I've worked primarily with
Oracle and MySQL and I would like to widen my knowledge base. My
background is programming in perl, python, and java. I've used sql
strictly to store and retrieve data. I would like to learn some
advance sql, data modeling, and database administration.

I have a weakness for garage sales and have manage to amass quite a
collection of treasures. Some people call it junk but what do they
know! I'd like to create a database to list information about all of
my antiques, add search functionality to the db, and maybe even add a
blog feature.
