Testimonials from Outstanding Students

Network Operations Staff, ChinaSoft International:
 

This training gave me a profound sense of the strength of Chinese databases: comprehensive functionality, outstanding compatibility, and an easy-to-learn graphical interface. Through more than ten days of systematic online learning, I gained a multi-faceted understanding of GBase 8s, including its installation and uninstallation, operating modes, basic syntax, common functions, as well as database migration, backup, and recovery. I am honored to have participated in this program.

Database Administrator, Shanghai New Century Network Technology:

As China’s localization drive accelerates, the wave of "de-IOE" is rising higher—Chinese databases are undoubtedly the future. GBase 8s is a mature, stable, transaction-oriented secure database capable of supporting hundreds of terabytes, making it highly applicable for the telecommunications industry where I work. I have great confidence in the growth of GBase 8s. When it comes time to select a database for future projects, I will certainly choose GBase 8s. Learning it now is a proactive step to prepare for what’s ahead. GBase 8s, keep up the momentum!

Senior Engineer, Asiainfo Technologies (Nanjing):

Against the current backdrop of moving away from Oracle, Chinese databases have come into sharp focus. After completing the GBase database training and certification, my confidence in GBASE is full! Many thanks to all the instructors and fellow participants. The instructors’ extensive knowledge, skills, and patient explanations, along with the active interaction among participants, helped me gain a great deal. I will continue to promote GBase and help more people understand it. I also hope GBase will become even more refined as more users adopt it!

Engineer, Beyond Information Systems (Shenzhen):

This training demonstrated GBASE’s dedication and professionalism: the curriculum was well-structured, coverage was comprehensive, and it closely aligned with real-world applications. GBASE also provided free virtual machines for practice and set up a dedicated study group where helpful instructors offered all-day guidance and high-skilled participants proactively assisted others. The learning atmosphere was extremely collaborative. I now have a fairly thorough understanding of the GBase 8s database—it features stable performance and strong compatibility, and is quick to learn if you have experience with other databases. In actual project performance tests, GBase 8s also delivered impressive results. I wish GBASE continued success as the trend toward Chinese technology substitution and accelerated IT application innovation gains momentum, writing a new chapter for the development of Chinese databases.

Big Data Developer, Asiainfo Technologies (Nanjing):

I have always worked with Oracle databases, but existing Oracle systems are struggling to keep up, and their efficiency can no longer match the pace of market evolution. Under the current “de-Oracle” drive, Chinese databases are receiving significant attention. The strongest impression left by these hands-on sessions is: speed! With the same tens of millions of records, GBase runs over 100 times faster than Oracle! I feel like I was wasting my life before! Migrating away from Oracle is an imperative!

Operations Staff, Nandian Zhikong Co., Ltd.:

My initial goal in joining the GBASE database training was to learn more about Chinese databases. Since I had prior experience with another Chinese database, my expectations for GBase were modest at the start. But as the course progressed, I discovered many unique strengths in GBase—unlike other databases that try to imitate Oracle as closely as possible. Although close imitation might make adaptation easier for my own work, from the long-term perspective of Chinese database development, innovation is always the driving force.

Engineer, Guizhou Electronic Certificate Co., Ltd.:

I was fortunate to take the GBase 8s training course. Over a dozen days of online sessions, I moved from complete unfamiliarity with Chinese databases to relative mastery—passing through stages of bewilderment, amazement, understanding, and pride. I hadn’t realized Chinese databases had reached such heights.

Engineer, IBM:

GBase database is flexible and versatile. In the Chinese database market, many companies chase market share while neglecting product evolution. GBASE, on the other hand, has done an excellent job in this regard. As the saying goes, a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step; no river or sea can be formed without accumulating small streams. Over decades of sustained effort, GBASE has steadily built the GBase database into what it is today.

Operations & Development Engineer, Guangzhou Yuntong Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd.:

As a product designed to rival Oracle, GBase 8s already delivers many Oracle-like features, and in some cases, its functions and APIs even surpass Oracle—a point of genuine pride for GBase. Under the overarching “de-IOE” direction and the local technology substitution drive outlined in China’s 14th Five-Year Plan, Chinese databases are rising and gaining wider acceptance. But the development of Chinese databases requires more than just R&D investment—as users, we too must dedicate time and effort to learning and researching, contributing our own energy to the domestic substitution effort.
