The certification is appropriate for individuals who derive physical database designs, develop logical data models, create physical databases, create data services by using Transact-SQL, manage and maintain databases, configure and manage security, monitor and optimize databases, and install and configure Microsoft SQL Server.

The MCDBA Certification is appropriate for

  • Database administrators
  • Database analysts
  • Database developers

By earning the premier MCDBA credential, individuals are demonstrating that they have the skills necessary to lead organizations in the successful design, implementation, and administration of Microsoft SQL Server databases.

MCDBA candidates should have at least one year of experience working with Microsoft SQL Server. For additional requirements to earn the Microsoft Certified Database Administrator credential please see MCDBA Requirements below.

Requirements for MCDBA

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.

Select an exam below to obtain information on the skill sets tested on the exam. Not all of the exams for Windows XP/.NET Enterprise Servers are available at this time.
