No, no, please, you don't understand. He's sincere...trust me...er, trust him! :D

PS. Actually, he's an M$ plant, and if you do e-mail him the dumps, he's waiting to nail you with an IP suit.
hmscott|||One note for MCSD certification!
It is a developer path among Microsoft certifications. Only 70-229 is an optional exam that is related with SQL
70-305 is obviously not related with SQL Server!

MCDBA Exams
Hi,
I was wondering if there is any priority in taking the
MCDBA exams, and if there is what is it. I could not find
it in Microsoft's site. As you know there are totally 4
exams, and i don't know which one should be taken first.
Thanks in advance,
Matt

Take whichever you have studied for. ;-)
The SQL Exams portion does not need to be in any particular order. Between
myself and the students that I have taught, most of them found the Admin
exam more difficult than the Implementing exam.
In general, all of the exams are pretty tough, so do spend the appropriate
amount of time studying.

MCDBA (SQL Server 2000) exams still available ?
Can anybody answer :
Are MCDBA (SQL Server 2000) exams still available today ?
Is it worth going for this exam today, in spite of the fact SQL Server 2005 has been released ?Of course the credentials are still good and will be available for awhile. You can find more information on the microsoft site.|||even if they were, why bother? mainline support for 2K ends next April and I suspect the credentials go dead soon as well. it's like you can still get a job doing VB6 but it is not likely going to be a good or exciting job.|||mainline support for 2K ends next April
not that I care, but I was under the impression that MS support for each major release of SQL Server goes for 10 years. apparently that's not the case?|||i am pretty sure that extended support begins next April, but mainline support ends and I believe extended support comes at a cost.|||not that I care, but I was under the impression that MS support for each major release of SQL Server goes for 10 years. apparently that's not the case?
depends on your definition of "support".
Mainstream support will end April 2008. I believe that you are right that "extended support" will continue for another 5 years beyond that point. I believe that it means there will be no more patches, no more hotfixes (at least none that are for general release) after April 2008, but MS will take your money and answer your calls and maintain links to existing downloads on their site. There's an MS web site somewhere that details what the phases of support are and what they consist of and how long each lasts. I don't have that google magic tonight.
...sigh...it's been a long week and a long day.
Regards,
hmscott|||Hotfixes are NOT for general relese, and I'm so bored with the Microsoft Courseware when it comes to terminology:

Well, in my opinion the 2000 certs have something I miss from 2005, and visa versa. I'd actually like DBAs to have both.
The 2005 certs (MCITP) are really great as they cover a lot of design issues, as well as a requirement for broad knowledge (MCTS) of the product. However, the MCITPs (and especially Database Administrator) does not test certain skills which should be mandatory, as general troubleshooting of server, network, directory service etc. This skills should be mandatory, and tested. In 2000 they were, at least to a point.
I certainly hope that Microsoft takes the best from both the 2000 and the 2005 track when they start developing the certification track for Katmai|||Well, in my opinion the 2000 certs have something I miss from 2005, and visa versa. I'd actually like DBAs to have both.

I have met DB professionals with both or one or the other I would not hire or let near my DB servers. Last year I had this 22 or 23 year old kid in support and I swear all he did was spend a month on Braindumps per exam and boom he was certified. No sweat. Repitition and regurgatation. Doesn't make him a good dba. I think he got a 900 or close to it on both exams.|||I have met DB professionals with both or one or the other I would not hire or let near my DB servers.

Hi
I am wanting to take the 70-228 and 70-229 exams. Does anyone who has already passed them have any recommendations for the best / most complete books for studying them? Opinions seem so varied on Amazon...
Thx
Deshai desmondx,
Last week i cleared my 70-229 exam and i am taking 70-228 exam this next week.
In my opinion, Microsoft Training Kits will really help u for the exam. What u need is a little handson experience in SQL Server and Mircorsoft Training Kit for preparation and use Books online for indepth explanation and reference. U can easily get a good score in the exam.
I also used Inside SQL Server 2000 from MSPress
Guides from testking are also useful but don't rely only on them.
I have heared that self-test softwares r good. (but i hav'nt used any of them)
All the best for ur exam
With regards
Sudar|||Thanks for the advice Sudar,
Good luck with 228...
:-)
