Certification Question
Aug 23, 2005I am reading Administering SQL Server, a study guide for 70-228
on page 27, it says:
"INSTEAD OF triggers are useful when a DML operation is unsuccessful."
I think this is nonsense. Any comments?

Certification !!!!!!!!!!!!
Feb 11, 2008Hi 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.

Resources For MS Certification
Jun 19, 2002I 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

Certification: Looking For Advise
Oct 1, 2004Hi 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.

SQL 2005 Certification
Nov 9, 2007Hello 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.

2008 Certification ?
Feb 13, 2008Hi 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

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

SQL Server Certification (MCAD)
Nov 1, 2004Hello,
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.
