Hello,
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,
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.

View 3 Replies View RelatedHi,
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,

Hi
I am interested in taking MCTS exam 70-431 for sql server 2005 implementation and maintainance.
I have been reading the hardware requirements for the instalation of sql server versions and realise that enterprise and developer editions have same minimum requirements for the operation system.
I understand that the Developer Edition includes all the functionality of SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition, but it is licensed for use as a development and test system, not as a production server.
Also I undestand that the developer edition supports the Windows XP Home Edition with SP2 or later but the enterprise edition does not support this operating system. The evaluation/trial version is for the enterprise edition. Can I use the developer version of sql server 2005 for my practice exercises instead of using the trial version?
I have all hardware requirements for the trial enterprise version except that I am using Microsoft windows Xp home edition version 2002 with SP2. I am trying to see if I can use the developer version of sql server 2005 as it is cheaper for me to buy this software than buying the new operating system for my computer.
According to the microsoft book for the MCTS exam 70-431 there is a section which states that before you begin you should have Microsoft Windows Server 2003 running on your computer on an NTFS file system
(NTFS) partition. Will I still be ok to use the book and be able to do all the tests in the book if i am using the developer version of sql server 2005 with my Microsoft windows Xp home edition than using the trial version which comes with the book?
Thanks

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.
hi.
iam learing Ms server 2005 i want is there any MicrosoftSoft certification for Microsoft Sql server 2005 alone
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.
Anyone know of a site or company that provide good pre-tests for certification?
I don't mind paying for downloadable test either.

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.
I am reading Administering SQL Server, a study guide for 70-228on page 27, it says:"INSTEAD OF triggers are useful when a DML operation is unsuccessful."I think this is nonsense. Any comments?

Hi all,

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
