At the fall 1998 Comdex, Microsoft announced the release of SQL Server 7.0 and a new certification for database administrators. The Microsoft Certified Database Administrator (MCDBA) certification was the first new certification Microsoft had introduced in several years and was a long time in coming. Database management specialists in general, and SQL Server specialists in particular, are delighted to finally see database administration officially recognized. The road to the new certification hasn't been a smooth one, however, and questions remain about whether the MCDBA differs substantially from the MCSE with a SQL Server specialization. Long before Microsoft introduced the MCDBA certification, confusion existed over what MCDBAs would be certified in. Beginning in November 1998, Microsoft awarded the general-purpose Microsoft Certified Professional (MCP) certification to people who passed one exam, and many MCPs say they are certified "in" the topic that this exam targets (e.g., Windows NT 4.0, SQL Server 7.0). However, Microsoft doesn't recognize these self-awarded specializations, and no separate logos for MCP areas of expertise exist. In other words, there's no such thing as an MCP in SQL Server. To give you an understanding of the relative worth of the MCDBA, let's look more deeply at MCDBA certification and explore its pros and cons. . . . This is a really good article. It communicates how well trained and experienced a person should be before attempting MCDBA cert.I'd like to see Sawtell, Waymire's and other pros opinions on just what tools a person should aquire on their way to certification and more importantly, a lifetime career as a developer or DBA. I'm very interested in pursuing expertise and a roadmap from SQL professionls, other than Microsoft's, would be important and beneficial to me.Thanks and keep up the great work. O.G. Caballero September 04, 1999 kalen writes well and presents a balanced and informative article. I am an MCSE and have experience as well. i can see those around me getting Paper Qualification' and not knowing a stored procedure from a view but it takes all sorts and MCDBA MCSE etc if you can't walk the walk prepare for a quick exit. Allan Mitchell April 08, 2000 I wanted to know if i passed One Exam of MCDBA (i.e) Paper 70-228 ,Shall i'll be entitled for MCP. Nitin February 03, 2004 I read this article. It gives a fair idea about the worthiness of being a MCDBA. Good work done.However I am a MCDBA aspirant and would like to know how to prepare for this keeping in mind SQL Server 2000. Looking forward for some valuable guidance from you. Atul Kaushik March 11, 2004 You must log on before posting a comment. If you don't have a username & password, please register now.
