Is it worth studying towards an MCDBA (hopefully going to get my
employer to pay for it) ... has anyone completed it in the UK? if so
what learning methods did you use(ie Boot Camp, elearning etc)? And
who do you recommend for the training course?
Thanks

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?

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...
