The problem with that, is that your suggestion refers only to PostgreSQL
Database Administration, and not to PostgreSQL database development,
which is why I referred previously to a set of certifications; eg, Core,
DBA, Database Development, and, Web-based Database Development.

Streams could then be Core -> DBA, for DBA's, and, Core -> Database
Development  for Database Developers, then possibly -> Web-based
Database Development (eg <Perl|PHP>/PostgreSQL), for Web Application
Developers.
