Hi,
I have MCDBA 2000 certification and want to upgrade to MCITP 2008. Can't upgrade to MCTIP 2005, because exam 70-431 has just been retired. So, it seems the only option is to take two exams:
70-432 TS: Microsoft SQL Server 2008, Implementation and Maintenance exam
70-450 PRO: Designing, Optimizing and Maintaining a Database Administrative Solution Using Microsoft SQL Server 2008 exam
Is that all?
It looks a bit suspicious, that certification from the scratch only requiers two exams. MCDBA used to require four, I think.
Thanks.

You would be correct in your assumptions. The MCTS is a pre-req for the MCITP and they have separated administration and development.
Administrative track-
70-432 MCTS: SQL Server 2008, Implementation and Maintenance
70-450 MCITP: Database Administrator 2008
Development track-
70-433 MCTS: SQL Server 2008, Database Development
70-451 MCITP: Database Developer 2008

And all four of those are pre-reqs for the Microsoft Certified Master (MCM) for SQL Server 2008.
The only other two exams that might be interesting, for SQL Server DBAs, are the two Business Intelligence certifications.
70-448 MCTS: SQL Server 2008, Business Intelligence Development and Maintenance
70-452 MCITP: Business Intelligence Developer 2008

Sorry, I did not quite understand. Is this correct, that I need only two exams or is this correct, I need more? The exam numbers look the same for MCTS.

This requires that you have already written 70-432 MCTS: SQL Server 2008, Implementation and Maintenance
and then you must write 70-450
MCITP SQL 2008 Database Developer
This requires that you have already written 70-433 MCTS: SQL Server 2008, Database Development
and then you must write 70-451 MCITP: Database Developer 2008
