Reston, VA (PRWEB) January 8, 2008 -- MySQL AB (http://www.mysql.com), developer of the world's most popular open source database, today announced it will be presenting a free, one-day technical training class for senior Oracle database administrators (DBAs) in the U.S. Government and other organizations who are interested in expanding their professional skill-sets by learning advanced MySQL techniques.

The complimentary event is co-sponsored by Carahsoft, MySQL's master GSA partner and federal distributor:

"The options and capabilities provided by MySQL Enterprise have helped us make significant strides in growing our customer base and expanding our business. The flexibility and capabilities MySQL provides are second to none."

The demand for MySQL Certified DBAs has been growing with the rapid adoption of MySQL for online and enterprise database applications.
