I am a web applicaton developer, sysadmin, and DBA. My main background
is Oracle but I have a couple of sites that use MySQL and Postgres. My
medium to long term plan is to move everything to use Postgres because
I think it is the right balance between features and complexity for my
needs. I mostly want to improve my Postgres DBA skills.
