I very much disagree with the suggestion that any sort of training is needed or useful.
The fastest way (IMHO) to gain the knowledge to become a solid MySQL DBA is to answer questions on #mysql and to read planet mysql. There are very few people than understand MySQL well. After 6 months of trying to help people on #mysql most people will have enough knowledge that I would suggest hiring them as either junior or full DBA. In addition it is easy to make contacts that can become employment opportunities. -- Rob Wultsch wult...@gmail.com -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql?unsub=arch...@jab.org
