Microsoft Certified Database Administrator (MCDBA) on
Microsoft SQL
Server™ 2000 candidates need to pass three core exams and one
elective exam that provide a valid and reliable measure of
technical proficiency and expertise in the implementation and
administration of SQL Server databases.
Microsoft is integrating
Microsoft Windows® XP Professional and
Microsoft .NET Enterprise Servers exams into the MCDBA on
Microsoft
SQL Server 2000 certification. Individuals should continue to
pursue training and certification in Windows 2000, as skills
acquired for Windows 2000 will be highly relevant to and provide a
critical foundation for Windows XP Professional and .NET Enterprise
Servers.
MCDBAs on Microsoft SQL Server 2000 will not be required to pass
Windows XP Professional/.NET Enterprise Servers exams to retain
MCDBA certification. The Windows 2000 exams and the Windows XP/.NET
Enterprise Servers exams for the MCDBA on Microsoft SQL Server 2000
certification are expected to remain available concurrently.
