Can anybody suggest a couple of good books to use to prepare for the SQL Data Warehousing exam (70-019)? I'm starting to get ready for that exam to complete my MCDBA and was wondering if anybody had any good recommendations or those to stay away from.
Thanks for any help that you can provide in this matter.

well i took it and failed,
the test centre i went to in the UK had a pass mark for SQL Administration 70-228 of 70% out of 100%
does anyone know if this is a usual pass barrier or do some other UK testing centre's offer lower pass marks, and where to find them?
Hello, Im new so please be gentle. I'm just in the midst of studying for the SQL2K admin exam, and was going to to the Design exam straight afterwards. Ive heard that a person is much better off learing T-SQL before doing the design exam, is this the case? I will learn T-SQL anyway, but I'm wondering if learning before the design exam will make life easier for me?
Thanks for reading.

Yes, we have no banana's.
Does anyone know of a good book that will prepare you for this exam. I know that in some early discussions that Mike Hoetch warned against some of the new books on the market.
Thanks

hi!
i had the implementing database on sql server 7.0 exam this morning. there's a question that confuse me too much, it's fellowed
there are 3 columns on which you wanna create the composite index, A,B and C, A is almost identical, B is almost 50% identical and C is only 10% identical, i had the implementing database on sql server 7.0 exam this morning. there's a question that confuse me too much, it's fellowed
there are 3 columns on which you wanna create the composite index, A,B and C, A is almost identical, B is almost 50% identical and C is only 10% identical, then they asked which index enable the fastest query?
the choices:
A.clustered (A,B,C)
B.nonclustered (A,B,C)
C.clustered (C,B,A)
D.nonclustered (C,B,A)
i think the sequence must be C,B,A, but how about the clustered or nonclustered? i guess it's will be nonclustered.
ok, it's there.
could you help me? i wanna know when should be clustered besides the primary key and when should be the nonclustered.thanx!
1.You use new database dialog to create DB, but there's not available
Device, what is your quickest way to create a new device.
2.-Data and log are on same device, you issue:
DUMP database mydb to dump1
DUMP transaction mydb with truncate_only
What happened to trans log?
3 -Setting up Windows client to access your server, you enter the IP address
of the PDC, would this work?
Hi
Here is a mcdba admin question
Consider the following time line:
8:00 You accomplish the full database backup.
8:10 User1 enters the order 53 for customer 10, whose name in the database is
XXXXX (I
can't remember, but not Bill Smith)
8:12 User2 at remote server changes the name XXXXX to YYYYY
8:13 User3 changes the name YYYYY to ZZZZZ
8:14 User3 commit the transaction.
8:20 Media fails for database.
8:30 You restore the database from 8:00 backup. What is the status of the order
53 in the
database?
a) The order 53 is not in the database.
b) The order 53 is in the database and name is XXXXX.
c) The order 53 is in the database and name is YYYYY.
d) The order 53 is in the database and name is ZZZZZ.
Ans: B The name was already there.
The answer is B but I think th answer is A
becouse He or Her restroe the database from 8:00
I think the 53 order maked after 8:00 so
there is not order 53 in the backup database
How about you think and why !!!
Thanks kjs

What initial values of a and c are required such that the final values of a and b are:
a = 32
b = 4
…
int a,b,c
a = ?
b = 0
c = ?
for( b=0; a<12; b++ )
{
a = (a+a) * c;
}
…
I know its not the area but i'm hoping someone has an idea
I've gone through the Microsoft press study material for Exam 70-229. It is okay but not really comprehensive. I'd appreciate any supporting book that deals with the exam topics inside out... And info on any site which offers good practise exams is also appreciated.
Thank you.

Hi
I'm not sure if this is the right forum to be posting this query as I am a newbie, but here goes. I will be taking the sql server 2005 exam in december and was wondering whether anybody could recommend any good books. The prepertion guide on the ms site has an overload of information which I am just getting lost in! I will also be purchasing these free e-courses on the ms site and wanted to know once I have purchased them how long will I have access to the courses. Also can I access them on the net from any machine.
I have just recently passed exam 70-315 and found that the exam questions were very similar to the TestKing questions which I made use of prior to the exam. So I will definetley be buying TK Q's for this exam also.
Many Thanks
Vik

My employer has recently offered to pay for my certification exam (70-229) so I am about to start preparing/revising. Having visited numerous sites to get an idea of what is needed, I am now overwhelmed with info.
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).
Regards
Simon

Hello,
Anyone planning to take the exam 70-431?
It would be nice to share experience and motivation ... I am currently using SQL Server 2005 Bible as a reference, any other references you suggest? Any place where I could find exam samples?

I am going to sit for a database design exam. I am going through the practice questions and which are befuddling me. Can anyone give me pointers to the parts I am not clear with below?
The Problem
You are working for a legal firm that has an old antiquated Case Management System. The law firm’s documentation involves litigation material, recording findings, and general correspondence.
The final decisions are produced in Microsoft Word and are considered to be legal documents in the state of Virginia. At the moment there is no link to any party administration information stored in the Case Management system, so all addressing is re-keyed. The overall process is very paper intensive.
Question 1: Using, as your reference, the basic steps in Classic Systems Analysis, define the business problem described above.
Question 2: How might the overall problem be tackled?
Question 3: Complete an ERD with MS Visio to provide for a solution that will fit the requirements for the legal firm. Please note that the instructor will be running the MS Visio on SQL Server 2000 SP3 and Windows 2000.
The Question: I have problems with Question 1. What does “Classic System Analysis” mean here? Does this mean project management using the Waterfall method?
The ERD I can do. The non-tech stuff is the ambiguous part.
Thanks for any help. This conundrum has kept me up almost all night.

I need to implement/set up the Data warehouse/Data mart in one of the department in my company by using SQL server 2005. Do any body knows the steps what I need to follow?
It will be more appreciate that, if any body gives some of the links which will help me to do the implementation/development of the same.
I do have the basic idea however I may face some of the difficulties when I start such as, does the SQL server reporting service allow the end user to customize the report based on their needs etc.?, so any of them having experience in this field please reply me.
Thanks

Hi,
I am studying for the above exam and have got a new laptop with the basic version of Vista pre-installed on it. I've got an evaluation version of SQL Server 2000 I got from a Microsoft event but the basic version of Vista I have, will not let me install it.
Can anyone advise me whether SQL Server Express will be useful in studying for the SQL Server 2000 Design 70-229 Exam?
If not, I see my options as fork out for an older OS licence - XP pro to put on the laptop which would allow me to install the evaluation edition. Not my first choice but it would do...
Thank you,
Mark Smith
