[GENERAL] Looking for some advise on training materials
I want to get some folks some professional development work to do on the topic of databases (PostgreSQL-related, but I'm looking for some more general material on the subject of relational design, etc as well) Because the training budget is used up for this year, and I don't want to wait until January, I'm trying to find things that are inexpensive enough to get started on right away. To that end, does anyone have any recommendations? Something like a self-guided online course, or a book that's written specifically to be a self-study? -- Bill Moran wmo...@potentialtech.com -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
Re: [GENERAL] Looking for some advise on training materials
Because the training budget is used up for this year, and I don't want to wait until January, I'm trying to find things that are inexpensive enough to get started on right away. I'm looking forward to others' suggestions which will surely be better, but I originally learned the basics of data normalization and SQL from _Oracle 8: The Complete Reference_. Chapters 1-3 are a very practical and easy-to-follow introduction, and are hardly Oracle-specific at all. That's about 80 pages total. I'm sure there are excellent on-line resources as well, but this worked for me and made it very easy to pick up. Good luck!
