Not yet.

My best suggestion is:

[1] Review the course materials for the equivalent SQL Server 2005 exams.

[2] Review the course material for the 70-432.

[3] Spend most of your time studying SQL Server 2008 Books Online, focusing
on the new features.

[4] Review the new MSPress books on SQL208 by Kalen Delaney, Itzik Ben-Gan,
and others, again focusing on the new features of SQL 2008.

Hi,

I have recently started working in an environment where we use SQL 2005
extensively. I am more on the technical/support side of things, but am
slowly teaching myself to write basic queries.

I would be very interested in starting a certification track in SQL (2005 or
200 but am totally unfamiliar with the MS certification "scheme" - have no
clue what MCITP etc. means.

Can anyone suggest, or give some info, on courses/exams that i can consider?

Thank you,
Johan Swanevelder
