    please help me.

  • At this point in time, I would suggest you not consider the MCDBA, unless you have a good reason. The SQL 2000 exams are due to be retired soon.

    Consider the MCTS and MCITP certifications for SQL 2005.

    The MS learning site has lots of info

  • MCDBA is SQL 2000. The SQL 2005 certifications are the MCTS (SQL Server 2005) and the MCITP (SQL Server database Admin) and MCITP (SQL Server Database developer)

    The link I gave you has lots of info on what the various exams cover and on courses and books that cover the material.
