Since "being a Postgres DBA" is not a binary state, you should honestly say where you fall in the spectrum. Instead of "I'm a PG DBA", one could say, "I have some experience as a PG DBA and I am comfortable with the role." Variations might include, "I have a lot of DBA experience, but somewhat more limited PG-specific knowledge", or, "I've been honing my PG DBA skills, and I have a solid but basic competence", and the like. Chances are you will be able to make such judgments with much more confidence than claiming to be or not to be a DBA. -- Lew
