I just tried running through the installation of SQL Server 2000 Developer. I tried adding components to my existing install of the SQL Server. There was nothing there...

Well, the service is definitely installed on the server, but my client tools can't seem to access it. Do I need to install AS on my desktop to get...

You're correct there. The closest I got was when I started creating MS Access databases for various things while I worked for the records management firm. I was the...

Markus,
Thank you. That explains why I'm confused. I'm using the client tools on my desktop and should have gone straight to the source. @=)
Thanks again!

Loner,
I'm trying to figure out if it's already installed, though. How do I do that?

Clive, I didn't say I had no Real World experience. I said I had no professional experience. Professional = Paid official job title.

Heaven forbid that you should leave it up to the application developers. They'll design you a database that makes a DBA job a nightmare! And there are people...

Clive,
They didn't introduce just one new cert. They introduced 4 of them. @=) All new SQL Server 2005 certification information can be found at the following link:

If you've been a DBA for 8 years already, go for the MCITP instead (SQL 2005 -and possibly 2008- certs). It'll look much better on your job history. ...

The best thing you can do for yourself, Jigisha, is practice, practice, practice.
There are still a lot of shops which use SQL Server 2000, which might make it worth your...
