SQLDCH (9/18/2013)
I also have the MCTS certs in database administration for SQL Server 2005 and 2008 (very basic, one book/one test). I learned something new each time I studied for them, although I've never used the Service Broker or message queuing in my real life experience (just one example). I underlined "studied" because that what I did.
Just curious, in the course of your "studying" for these certification tests did you ever once access a online braindump?:-D
