PostgreSQL: the EnterpriseDB webcasts

PostgreSQL is becoming one of my favorite databases. Postgres is the direct descendent of Ingres, both are the creation of the Berkeley and were authored by Michael Stonebreaker and Eugine Wong. Other descendants of Ingres include Oracle, Sybase Enterprise Server and Microsoft SQL Server. PostgreSQL has the advantage of a very clean code base, as demonstrated by Coverity's open source scans. A limit for many open source project is getting access to paid support. In the case of PostgreSQL there is commercial support from EnterpriseDB.

One of the gems of the EnterpriseDB support is the wide range of webcasts about PostgreSQL. Because PostgreSQL is open source, the developers present detailed information about the internals of PostgreSQL and best practices for database administrators and developers.
