Outstanding Trainee Testimonials

Some of this session's outstanding trainees sent training summaries, learning experiences, and suggestions for GBase databases. We appreciate your enthusiastic support for China's homegrown database. Excerpts are shared below for your reading.

Zhu Kongming – Operations Engineer, Shanghai Baosight Software Co., Ltd.
Invited by a colleague, I signed up for this GBase 8a training. During the training, I gradually learned about the overall architecture of GBase 8a, including components such as GCware, GCluster, and GNode, and further studied advanced features like intelligent indexing and transparent adaptive compression. I experienced the powerful features and operational convenience of GBase 8a.
Currently, China's homegrown databases urgently need to build their own ecosystem, and training is an excellent way to promote and achieve this. General Data Technology has done a great job in this regard, offering twelve training sessions each year covering the 8a, 8c, and 8s products. The training includes not only a series of video courses but also post-course exercises, which help motivate learning and reinforce knowledge.

Kuai Zirui – Senior Software Engineer, Bank of China Software Center (Shanghai)
When using GBase databases at work previously, I only learned basic syntax from the SQL development manual. This training helped me understand the core knowledge of GBase from its fundamental architecture, including the interaction logic between different node types, deepening my grasp of GBase syntax and commands, and providing strong support for future development and maintenance.

Chen Dong – Software Engineer, Bank of China Software Center
The several-day GBase 8a certification training has concluded. This focused learning period gave me a more systematic and deeper understanding of distributed database technology.

From theoretical frameworks to hands-on exercises, the training content progressed step by step—covering GBase 8a architecture design, data distribution strategies, cluster deployment, and performance tuning. Every knowledge point was closely aligned with real-world application scenarios. The instructor's detailed explanations with case studies not only clarified the core logic of distributed storage and parallel computing but also allowed me to truly experience the efficiency and stability of this homegrown database in large-scale data processing while configuring clusters and handling data sharding.

As a professional in the data field, I deeply understand the significance of the rise of China's homegrown database technology. This training was not only a skill enhancement but also gave me a direct appreciation of the technical strength of GBase products. In the future, I will apply what I have learned to practical work and look forward to contributing to the development of China's homegrown databases.

Chen Shuang – Development Engineer, Shanghai Jinqiu Information Technology Co., Ltd.
This training systematically covered the core technologies and operational essentials of GBase 8a. Through a combination of theory and hands-on practice, it significantly improved my cluster management and SQL optimization skills. The instructor's expert explanations and analysis of common pitfalls were especially practical, laying a solid foundation for efficiently supporting business data scenarios in the future. Thanks to the team for their meticulous organization and generous sharing!

Xie Mengtong – Associate Software Engineer, Bank of China
Before the training, my understanding of GBase was limited to the basic perception that it was "a mainstream Chinese database." I used to think that homegrown databases might still lag behind foreign products in functional depth and application scenarios. But on the first day of class, the instructor dispelled my bias with clear architecture diagrams and industry case studies—from financial core systems to government data platforms, GBase's stable operation cases made me realize that homegrown databases have already entered critical business scenarios.

This learning experience deeply impressed upon me that the rise of China's homegrown databases is not just a slogan but the result of countless technologists' down-to-earth efforts. In my future work, I will carry this insight and confidently apply the value of GBase technology to practical business, contributing to the promotion and adoption of homegrown databases.

Yang Shasha – Employee, Zhangjiakou Bank Co., Ltd.
The powerful functionality of GBase 8a provides strong support for data processing and analysis, and the knowledge and skills I have gained will become valuable assets in my future work. I look forward to applying the training results to practice, optimizing database performance, improving data processing efficiency, and contributing to business development. At the same time, I will continue to study more features of GBase 8a, constantly improving myself to keep pace with technological advancement.
