EXAM CRAM™ 2 Designing and Implementing Databases with SQL Server 2000 Enterprise Edition [Electronic resources] نسخه متنی

Chapters 1 through 10 are designed to remind you of everything you need to know to take and pass the exam. The two sample tests at the end of the book should give you a reasonably accurate assessment of your knowledge and, yes, we've provided the answers and their explanations. Along with the explanations, you will find some particularly useful links to more information on the topic. For each answer there is a reference to the chapter of the book that covers the topic, as well as a link to more information on the Microsoft MSDN site and another to SQL Server books online.

Read the book and understand the material, and you'll stand a very good chance of passing the test. Make use of the additional links to the other materials and points of reference, and that, along with actual product use, will put you in excellent shape to do well on the exam.

Exam Cram 2 books help you understand and appreciate the subjects and materials necessary to pass Microsoft certification exams. Exam Cram 2 books are aimed strictly at test preparation and review. They do not teach you everything you need to know about a topic. Instead, we present and dissect the questions and problems we've found that you're likely to encounter on a test. We've worked to bring together as much information as possible about Microsoft certification exams.

The MCDBA certification will require you to know considerable information about the SQL Server product and its deployment with a network infrastructure. You must pass the two product-specific exams, 70-228 (SQL Administration) and 70-229 (SQL Implementation). You must also pass a networking exam dealing with Windows Server 2003 or Windows 2000 Server. Finally, you must select an elective to complete the certification. This could be a networking elective or programming elective, and there are numerous choices to select from. Again, consult the Microsoft website for more specific information.

Approximately 130,000 professionals have earned the MCDBA certification at the time this book was written. This would seem to indicate that even though the certification is challenging, it is most certainly attainable. The 70-229 exam is also one of the possible electives on the MCSD and MCSD.net certification paths.
