MCDBA Certification

Hi All:
What books some of you recommend for MCDBA 2000 preparation?
Thanks in advanceYou do not want to try the new certification for SQL Server 2005?
Keep in mind that doing MCDBA for SQL Server 2000 requires 4 exams and just
reading the books can take a looooooong time.

Perhaps you want to start with exam 70-431. Michael Hotek mentioned before
on these newsgroups that the Microsoft book for this exam will be available
sometime in June.
