Re: SQL classes

The databases course CS586 class at PSU is exactly the same course that was
taught at OGI, FYI. Same instructors, same textbook, same syllabus. IF
you're looking for just a basic primer online, there is one at
w3schools.org, which covers about the same material as the first week and a
half of the PSU class.

They used to have a Databases class at OGI. We have two PSU Intro to
Databases teachers on this list - but that's not necessarily what
you're after. I don't have direct experience with any database courses.

Command Prompt, Inc. is fairly local, supports PostgreSQL, and they
offer on-site training in the Portland area. Does anyone else know of
a local training company?

I learned most of what I know by debugging someone else's PL/PgSQL,
so I feel your pain, Michael!
