Who comes up with such ridiculous, useless qs? And why on earth would a dba want to waste value time and brain space memorizing such trivialities??Heh.... exactly why I've never tried to get certified. Too much trivia that's available in BOL and not enough technique.
Thank you A LOT for this.
A week or so ago was having a conversation with a co-worker who is knocking himself silly trying to amass certs. He believes this will achieve his goal of "as much money as possible." I suppose it could but there are no guarantees. He could be simply wasting his leisure time on a pursuit that will never pay off.
I quit chasing certs back at VB 4 and haven't had any problems being recruited, finding jobs I like, increasing pay scale as I go. I think it's more about what you can DO than how many tests you can pass. No one has cared about my lack of "credentials" and I'm glad I didn't waste my time.
It just feels good to "hear it" from a respected member of this board.
