TiDB Database Core Principles and Architecture (101)
This course is divided into nine chapters. The first chapter is an overview of the TiDB database architecture, mainly describing the main functions of the TiDB database and the components of each part. The subsequent chapters are detailed explanations of the first chapter.
Except for this chapter, I have taken notes for all the following chapters.

I am sharing my study notes with everyone and wish you all the best in passing the PCTA exam.

:+1: :+1: :+1: Actually, you can publish a TiDB column. While sharing, you can also earn points~

| username: ShawnYan | Original post link

I suggest recommending the articles you posted in the column, rather than external links.

I also posted my exam experience in the TiDB community, but notes are often considered low-quality content and don’t pass the review. Therefore, I uploaded the files instead of posting a separate article.

I also posted my exam experience in the TiDB community, but notes are considered low-quality articles and won’t pass the review. So I just uploaded the markdown file without posting a separate article.

May I ask if there is a registration fee for the exam, and if there is a limit on the number of attempts if I fail once?

Can I take the PCTA certification without attending the course?

| username: msx-yzu | Original post link

You can also participate.

| username: msx-yzu | Original post link

It is necessary, there is only one exam opportunity.

| username: 普罗米修斯 | Original post link

Okay, thanks.

| username: 随缘天空 | Original post link

Do you mean that if you fail once, you can never take the exam again, or can you retake it after registering again?

| username: msx-yzu | Original post link

You only have one chance to take the exam per registration. If you don’t pass, you can register and take the exam again.

| username: 随缘天空 | Original post link

Got it, thank you.

| username: msx-yzu | Original post link

No worries, let’s learn together!

Are the exam questions the same as the after-class exercises? Is there a question bank?
