Would be great if there is one in California. Company's budget is tight.
However, if the course is really great (need recommendations from the
community), travel any where in the US is OK too. I need to submit the
request to my management ASAP.

Mary,

It might help you to get relevant answers if you explain what sort of
training you want or need. Are you a database administrator who needs to
install and maintain postgres with multiple appliations and users? Are you
an application developer who needs to learn SQL? Are you a technical person
who supports postgres users?

Hi Rich,

I'm a database admin who needs to install and maintain postgres for a application. I'm also an application developer. As for now, I need to have more knowledge about being a Postgresql database admin. I'm also very interested in the database performance tuning area.

I do have about three different PostgreSQL books that I use frequently anytime I encountered a problem or need help. Of course, this community has been great by providing lots of help!!

There is a list of upcoming training events from various members of the
PostgreSQL community available at
http://www.postgresql.org/about/eventarchive ; there are some in
California in the near future.

Another option is to join a local Postgres User Group. See here for a list:
http://pugs.postgresql.org/

Note: A group just started up in Seattle(http://www.seapug.org/)
