Microsoft SQL 2005 Cert

[benaround]

Anyone have any info on the Microsoft SQL 2005 cert? I've just completed the MCDBA cert by taking the 70-305 exam this past weekend plus the other 3 exams for the full cert.

I feel its going to require a .NET MCP exam in addition to Admin and Design, any guess's / comments welcomed.

FYI, there 2 SQL 2k5 Beta courses, 2734 Updating Your Database Development Skills to Microsoft SQL Server 2005

No info has been released about MCDBA 2k5, and probably won't be until SQL 2k5 has been around for a while. Congrats on getting the MCDBA. I've got one more test to deal with for that, then I'm done.

Once the cert is released to the masses there should be an upgrade path for DBAs with MCDBA 2k to upgrade.

congrats again...

seeing as .NET is very much linked to sql 2005, i can imagine the mcps required being also linked to .net

of course there will be an upgrade path (i think), but seeing as it is quite a bit different....
itll probably follow the same logic as the two beta courses you mention... admin and programming upgrades...


but we have time before they release it on us i suppose...
