    I can certainly understand not having any access to the internet during an exam... but not having access to BOL doesn't seem right to me. It's a tool (a very dear one to me) that COMES WITH SQL SERVER and it's use should be allowed. Half the time, it's not knowing what the precise syntax or selection is, but where to find it when you need it. Save brainless, rote memorization for spelling B's. 😉

    Jeff,

    There really isn't much memorization required, at least not for the 2 exams I've taken. I ahve taken and passed 70-432 and 70-450 which are the DBA exams so there isn't a lot of syntax in there. It's more scenarios and you need to choose the correct design or options to best fill the requirements of the scenario, like choosing between clustering, log-shipping, mirroring for a high availablity solution.

    You don't necessarily have to know what a processor affinity setting of 2 is.
