How to become a PostgreSQL DBA?

The preferred qualifications to become a PostgreSQL DBA include a bachelor's degree and a few years of experience in database administration, specifically in configuring and troubleshooting PostgreSQL. Employers prefer degrees in management information systems, information technology, computer science, or another computer-related subject. Training resources are available through the PostgreSQL community or educational companies such as the Linux Academy, but employers typically do not require professional certification in PostgreSQL. However, you do need to understand how to code in SQL, optimize and fine-tune databases, and implement disaster recovery standards. Employers may prefer you to have skills in an Agile environment.
