为期三天的informix培训终于告一段落，还是不负所望，觉得很值。虽然informix从业人群很少，从这次出席培训来看更是如此，稀稀拉拉不到25人，不过培训老师是从大老远美国过来，还真不要错过这次机会，正是由于从国外来的，所以语言就成了障碍，三天全是英文教学，哈哈，还不错，自己还算能够听懂些，这样下去英语水平直线上升，还能够勉强和讲师交流。讲师也是一名丰富经验的数据库工程师，所以讲课很不错，课件安排很丰富，说实在的，这几天比上班还累多了。讲师很有激情，一早上中间就不到十分钟时间，其他都是课程安排，中午1个小时吃饭时间，下午又开始听课。这次对自己一直对informix的chcheckpoint问题向他提问，的确，他的思路清晰，对一些我以前不明白的地方，终于得到了答案。

今天下午，最后进行了认证测试，free test.还不错。之前自己也想考考，这次有机会了，当然不能错过，这培训的三天每天晚上都是好好准备复习，于是今天其他很多在选择测试时都是简单的考试，我就直接选择918项目，即informix系统管理员认证，已经是informix顶级了。一次通过，Rakesh Naik翘起大拇指说‘very well done.good,you are the best'.哈哈，thank you .然后问我还要考吗，我就选择了M35考试，一个多小时，也完成了考试，一次通过。

临走时，不忘感谢，“thank you for sharing you informix  knowledge for the last thee days,l learned a lot .thank you"，不标准的英语，Rakesh Naik大概说了祝福的话，握了握手，然后我就离开赶往公司。

记下这点记忆，不过自己还是觉得真的不可思议，以前也想考考，但是舍不得money,现在终于考了，真的实现了
