Hello,

I have a question about the Microsoft Technology Specialist exam content.

I'm wanting to take the exam: Exam 70-431: TS: Microsoft SQL Server 2005 -
Implementation and Maintenance and I've got the recommended Microsoft book:
MCTS Self-Paced Training Kit (Exam 70-431): Microsoft® SQL ServerT
2005-Implementation and Maintenance.

Now, in this book, it refers to SQL 2005 having 5 editions: Enterprise,
Standard, Workgroup, Express, Developer. So when preparing for the exam I
would have this in mind. But now on the microsoft website, there is a
'Mobile' edition of SQL Server 2005
(http://www.microsoft.com/sql/editions/default.mspx). So really, there is
'another' edition. Am I right?

So, what is the right answer in the exam? And by reading all the recommended
material, how do I know what I'm studying will be correct?

Thanks,
Jack.

Hi Jack:

I'm also preparing to take the same exam.
You are correct, there is "another" edition of the software, the Mobile
edition.
However, I would assume that the exam would not try to trick you by asking
you how many editions there were. I would assume that they would not
incorporate a question with an outdated answer, or if they did, they would
accept both responses (including and excluding the Mobile edition).
My only other advice would be to focus on the major concepts, and not worry
too much about things like this.
Good luck! I hope you do well.
