2008 Certification ?
Feb 13, 2008
Hi There
I know this is not the forum for this question however i dont know where else to post it.
I am about to write my MCITP DBA Admin for Sql server 2005, however now that 2008 is being released this year i was thinking about maybe waiting and just writing 2008.
But i have had little luck finding out how the certifications will work.
Does anyone know if it will still be MCITP DBA Admin and Dev certifications but for 2008. Or will it be a whole new kind of certification path ?
Bottom Line is it worth while to do 2005 MCITP right now ? Perhaps 2008 certifications will only be available in 2009 ?
If anyone has info onthis please let me know.
Appreciated, Thanx

Hi Experts,
I have a question in one of the interviews relates to MS Certification.
Is it require to have the MCDBA in SQL Server 2000 certification or required 2005 version certification?
If so, What is the main difference in having that over 2000 version.
Then it went like What the difference it makes having certification and what are the general comments about it.
I know 2005 definetely have the edge over the 2000 certification but I didnt understand what the major advantage in having and have not such certification.
Thanks in advance.

I was thinking of doing certification from Microsoft. I was first intending to write exam 70-229 which is :
Designing and Implementing Databases with Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Enterprise Edition.
The Microsoft site http://www.microsoft.com/traincert/exams/70-229.asp#TOOLS has a list of topics that I need to be familiar with in order to pass the exam, but it does not have the detailed information.
Can someone guide me to a place where I can go to get the detailed information about these topics so that I can prepare better for the certification exam?
thanks

Hi All
I have been working with Ms access Database the last four years and have gained a lot of experience which help me to have extensive knowledge of Jet, Dao and Ado. Since The Begining of this year i hv been migrating to SQL server server and for that i bought two books :Programming Access project file with Microsoft Sql server and Access Developers Guide to Ms sql server : Chipman & Baron ( this oner is simply a great achievement ). They help me out in the very near past to complety migrate a two database approch Jet Application to a reliable (Adp/ SQL Server client server ) where major parts of the code business logic has been transfered to run on the server as stored procedures and all forms re-built as unbound. these merely leads to a great enhancement of the applications.
My goal now is register to MCDBA and get the certification. I am not interested by classroom training from Microsoft Parterns or online training. I am looking for books that can help to get well prepared for the exams.
Have found this two books in Amazon:
1 - MCAD/MCSE/MCDBA Self-Paced Training Kit: Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Database Design and Implementation, Exam 70-229, Second Edition
2- MCSA/MCSE/MCDBA Self-Paced Training Kit: Microsoft SQL Server 2000 System Administration, 70-228, Second Edition
However their rating didn't encourage me to place directly my orders.
Does someone have any experience with them ?
Do you think they will considerably help me to add value to my knowledge of SQL Server and get ready for the exam ?
Do you know some others books you woul rather encourage me to buy ?
Any advice in this regards really appreciated.

Hello everyone. This is my first post on this board. I've been working for an investment bank in London (via an IT services company) as a DBA for a year now. It's pretty much my first real job since graduating from university. I did a bit of SAP before this job but it didn't really work out.
The work has been almost entirely on SQL Server 2000. I've done a bit of 2005 such as installs, backing up/restoring databases, setting up security.
I was thinking of doing an MCITP course in SQL 2005 in India early next year (my company will not pay for training - cheapos). The bank has recently been taken over by another bank and I don't know what the future holds beyond February, it's probably likely that the DBA's from the other bank will take over.
Do you think certification is needed? Would it be hard for me to get another job with the experience I currently have?
I find it difficult to study at home and the idea of going to India and getting the certification in 2 weeks appeals to me. Has anyone else ever been to a boot camp in India or elsewhere? Just how important is certification?
If you could provide me with some advice I would be most grateful.

Has anyone out there successfully completed the exam and if so can you recommend any sites/resources that you found useful (or any to avoid).

Hello,
I am about to start revising for exam 70-229 as part of my MS certification and was wondering if anyone has any advice/tips etc on revision material.
Having visited a number of sites I am now overwhelmed with the amount of study material. There are hundreds of sites offering exam training, others offering braindumps and others selling practice tests.
Does anyone know the best place to start and what material will get me up to speed the quickest. (Time is of the essence and I cannot afford to pay for training)
Any advice would be appreciated.

I see that part of SP2 is the new CC certification -- can anyone give me some more details. What level is it at? EAL4? I can't seem to find the certificate on the CC Web site but it could be because it's not SP2 yet.

There are a few features in the new SQL Server - Reporting Services that I really need in production. I have tested everything and it works great. I am running the CTP version since Microsoft is saying they aren't releasing the release version until 3rd quarter 2008.
Since Microsoft won't sell SQL 2008 until 3rd quarter, can I run the CTP in production until the release and then purchase SQL 2008?

Hello!
Recently, I set up server with Windows Web Server 2008 RC1, SQL 2008 Express beta, .NET 3.5, IIS 7.
I'm running ASP.NET web application with SQL database. Everything works fine until the first application state on the server expires. After that, any postback that starts a new application state on the server and connects to the database, results in the following error:
Failed to generate a user instance of SQL Server due to a failure in starting the process for the user instance. The connection will be closed.
Is this a bug that will be fixed in release of Windows / SQL or am I doing something wrong?
Many thanks for help,
Jan

Hi all,
New to this so please be patient and please help.
I have developed an SQL 2005 Express command line option install for our company which has been working seamlessly for the last 18 months.
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms144259.aspx
I downloaded the €œMicrosoft SQL Server 2008 Express CTP, February 2008€? from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=749BD760-F404-4D45-9AC0-D7F1B3ED1053&displaylang=en
I simply replaced the 2005 file €œSQLEXPR.EXE€? with the 2008 file €œ€?, recompiled the installation and tested only for it to fail. I than read the 2008 books online and noted the change in command line options.
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=19DB0B42-A5B2-456F-9C5C-F295CDD58D7A&displaylang=en
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms144259(SQL.100).aspx
I then changed the command line to suit the Microsoft 2008 books online, recompiled the installation and tested only for it to fail once more.
Interestingly I tested the install from the default GUI and at the point of adding the €œsa€? login credentials it fails to allow the installation to proceed. Strangely by selecting the windows authentication credentials, €œnext€? than €œback€? it now allows me to add the €œsa€? login credentials and continues to install correctly as required.
I hope I have explained this clearly enough.
1. Is this a bug in the €œMicrosoft SQL Server 2008 CTP, February 2008€? installation?
2. If so is this causing the command line install options to fail?
3. How do I obtain a version of €œMicrosoft SQL Server 2008 Express€? that will work installing from the command line?
Thanks in advance.

Hello - does anyone have experience w/SQL Server 2005 in a virtual environment? I'm considering this for a production environment but not sure if performance will suffer. Our databases will have a lot of writing but not too much reading. A SSRS solution is currently the only app. connecting to the SQL db. Max users to server at any given time will be very low (~10 users max). But the databases are pulling in data from other, outside multiple data sources on a daily basis.
Any pointers to documentation or any advice?
Thanks,
A Brown

Hi All
Im trying out connecting to a SQL Server database.
Ive got a Web Application and have Dragged and Dropped a SQLDataSource on the page.
Ive Selected the "Configure Data Source" option on the component.
Ive then selected the "New Connection" button on the "Configure Data Soure - SQLDataSource1" pop-up window.
Choose Data Source Ive then selected the "Microsoft SQL Server" then pressed continue.
On the "Add Connection" Window Ive then:-
Selected the Server Name from the drop down list
Selected the "Use Windows Authentication"
Selected "Select or enter a database name" and put a path in like "C:DataMyDatabase.mdf"
then pressed the "Test Connection" and get "Test Connection Succeeded" (this is the same whether a DB path exists or not ???)
then pressed ok and the following message appears:-
"Unable to find the requested .Net Framework Data Provider. It may not be Installed"
Any ideas why ?
