    You would be better off getting Oracle or MySQL certified IMO. :)

    I think getting Certified in SQL Server is pretty important if you work for say an IT company or a big company because what I find is they tend to run MS stuff a lot more then mySQL although not 100% true as like Yahoo both runs Windows and Linux so you have a mix there.

    Well kind of beside the whole point of this thread, but in my (personal) experience, SQL Server seems to be used by medium sized business, while Oracle is used by the big businesses (although MySQL is starting to get into the big businesses lately).

    Speaking of Yahoo, they are one of the biggest users of MySQL actually.... :)

    I have already taken this exam of sql -229. I think you must take this exam first as the other one is related to adminsitration. It is very easy. You can look for the dumps provided on web. Use testking for it. It helps you taking a paper.
