I've been working with SQL for close to a year now and I'm wondering if its worth the time and money to become certified. Are DBA's still on the up and rising or another job that will be outsourced to India?

Thx

I have been a DBA for about 5 years now but I have never considered getting MCDBA certification until now..
Is it worth doing?
Whats the best way to revise for the exam? i.e are there any free online tests ect?

Anyone take (and pass) the MCDBA exams? If so, do you feel the experience
was worth it? I'm most interested in what I can learn. Do you feel that
it's a respected certification (like an MCSE)?
Thanks.
Is MCDBA worth of the time and money one has to put into to acheive it?
I am talking in terms of getting a job.
Do you think after getting MCDBA you have gained sustantial knowledge about the subject?
I havent appeared for any of the MS exams as yet
but would like to start with 70 228 and 70 229.
I like reading BOL, but i guess for certfn exams you have to have a diff approach...
For my last 3 years I have work with the SQL 2000 as a database analysis. Now I want to get a certification to prepare me to look for a better job. Which certification is more valuable in today job marker MCTS or MCDBA.

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 ?

I was under the impression that SQL 7 could utilize any MAPI compliant email application for
use with the Mail Agent. I have been unable to confirm this. I am using Lotus Notes for company
email and would like to set the Agent to email failure messages to my Lotus Notes mailbox.
Does anyone know anything about this??? And if so, how do I set this up???
Greetings
I am attempting to set up a DTS package for transferring user information from a Lotus Domino server into the MS-SQL2K backend server in my web application.
My problem lies with creating the innitial connection item in the DTS package designer.
My actions:
Connection -> Lotus NotesSQL Driver (*.nsf) -> Data Source (Same) -> User/System DSN (LNotesNames)
I have tested this DSN by setting up a Linked Server in SQL Server and I can browse the tables and views in the Domino server through there.
When I press "OK" on the Connection Properties dialog I get the following error:
Package Error
HResult of 0x80004005(-2147467259) returned
Unexpected error occurred. An error result was returned without an error message.
The event viewer shows no error concurrent with this event. I have Lotus Notes client installed on the same system as the SQL Server.
I am wondering if anyone has had similar problems and perhaps resolved them, or if there are other resolutions available to me. I do not have development access to the Domino server, and such is not forthcoming, so I am limited to what I can pull out with client means.
Best regards
Klumhru
DTS to Lotus notes
I must import/export some data from SQL Server to Lotus Notes.
I downloaded and installed NotesSQL ODBC drivers.
I met no problem importing from a Lotus Notes view to an SQL Server table: I used DTS and everything succeded.
But I can't do the reverse process (exporting from SQL Server to Lotus Notes): DTS keeps on giving an error without description and it fails.
Does anybody know how to export a table or a view from SQL Server to Lotus Notes using DTS?
Thanks in advance.
I have a 'notes' field. Entries in there are time-stamped as well. so lines

View 1 Replies View RelatedHello,
I am using Lotus Notes 5.0 for email and would like to set the MS SQL Server Agent to email failure messages to my Lotus Notes
mailbox. I setup a profile in exchange (after installing Microsoft Messaging) called "Lotus Notes Mail". This profile actually works..
I can send and receive email from microsoft exchange.. But when I go in SQL server agent to setup the mail profile, first of all,
the mail profile drop down list is empty (my profile I created with Microsoft Exchange is not there) so I typed it (Lotus Notes Mail)..
When I click on the TEST button, I get the following error message:
Error 22030: A mapi error {error number 87} occured: MapiLogonEx failed due to mapi error 87: Invalid parameter.
Can someone help?? Does this means that there is something not setup properly in Notes??
Thanks in advance
I need to set up SQLMail togheter with Notes, We have SMTP server and profiles but I canīt get it to work. SQL sends the mail but it disappears into the cyberspace.. Someone help me pls...
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am having difficulty trying to get SQLMail to work via Notes4.6.1 as the mail system. Firstly the Notes client is working correctly on my machine but SQLMail will simply not start with the SQL-DMO error 17952, and on trying to configure it I type in my profile name(which has been successfully setup previously through the Ctrl Panel Mail and Fax icon with the Lotus Notes Mail information service selected ) and get the error 21002 RegCreateKeyEx - #5 access is denied - which seems to be something to do with permissions but the SQLServer service is logging in a member of Local Admins group.
Has anyone had this before - there seems to be a painful lack of information about this area generally.

I have just started a position at a new company and
want to set up the SQLMail option on each of the
20+ servers. One problem I see is that the e-mail
package here is Lotus Notes. Does anyone have any
experience or information they can pass on to me
regarding SQLMail and Lotus Notes? I would appreciate
any advice.
Thanks!

This is from the previous notes err that i reported.
If Lotus Notes 6 or higher is installed on your machine, you already have everything you need. You can create and work with the Notes database as a set of OLE objects.
Try this code for a start, replacing the dummy strings with your own values as appropriate:
Sub Main()
Dim sess As Object
Dim db As Object
Dim vu As Object
Dim doc As Object
sess = CreateObject("Lotus.NotesSession")
Call sess.Initialize("myPassword")
db = sess.GetDatabase("NotesServerName", "path/DBFileName.nsf")
vu = db.Views(0)
doc = vu.GetFirstDocument
MsgBox(doc.UniversalID)
End Sub
To understand the properties and methods for these objects, and to explore others, check out the LotusScript classes documentation at http://publib-b.boulder.ibm.com/lotus/c2359850.nsf/b3266a3c17f9bb7085256b870069c0a9/16d78c3f9148e7eb8525731b0049e880?OpenDocument. You'll find the syntax is similar to VB, and the descriptions often contain hints about calls from COM and OLE...meaning Microsoft.
My question is from this code above-
What is the sess = CreateObject("Lotus.NotesSession")
what do I need to put here in the notessession?
