The reason I ask is I am working at a company in Utah County. They are a Postgres shop and are outsourcing there DBA responsibility to a National Consulting Firm. They want to bring in back in house but are not sure if there are qualified Postgres DBA's here in Utah. So we have 3 options we are looking at. Keep the consulting firm doing the DBA work indefinitely, Find a Postgres DBA in Utah, or hire someone with good Oracle, or Mysql skills and keep the consulting firm for 6 months and get this person trained on Postgres. I am trying to get as much information as I can before a decision is made.
Thanks everyone.

Major projects are gigabytes in size. What exactly are you looking for?
