Atlanta, GA - July 27, 2004 - Big Nerd Ranch announces PostgreSQL 
Bootcamp for October 4-8, 2004

  The Big Nerd Ranch is pleased to announce the return of one of the 
most popular classes in its line-up, PostgreSQL Bootcamp. PostgreSQL is 
the most advanced open-source database available and is an ideal 
low-cost and robust relational database solution for those seeking to 
escape the hassle and cost of a proprietary database. With minimal 
administration requirements, an active and supportive community of 
peers, and boasting the reliability and stability of open source 
applications, PostgreSQL is rapidly becoming one of the most widely 
deployed database management systems. Its applications range from 
accounting packages to customer relations and contact management to 
medical records.

  Instructor Aaron Hillegass, heralding the return of the class, said, 
"The course is comprehensive and task-oriented. We anticipate that this 
class will be of great benefit to students seeking a deep understanding 
of PostgreSQL."

  By the end of the rigorous five days of instruction, students will be 
able to build and install a PostgreSQL server and its client libraries; 
incorporate SQL92, SQL extensions, libpq and DBI for the retrieval of 
data; create triggers, views and rules; develop custom server-side data 
types and functions using either C or pgsql; and optimize and maintain 
the performance, security and reliability of the server.

and Mac OS X programmers in a retreat setting outside Atlanta, GA. 
Class price of $3500 includes lodging, all meals, original instruction 
materials, 24-hour lab access, and transportation to and from the 
Atlanta airport. Students are encouraged to bring independent projects 
to class, allowing for input from classmates and individual instructor 
attention. For more information, call 678-595-6773 or visit
