Hi Pinal,
I’m interested in preparing and taking MCTS Exam 70-448 (BI).
I don’t have experience in SQL Server BI, but I do have 9 years of Business Objects and approx 9 years of SQL server admin/development/DTS, mostly SQL server 2000 and some 2005. I’ve never been certified and really want to move in that direction, specifically into Business Intelligence area.

Do you think it’s feasible for me to start with preparation for this exam and get certified without having actual working knowledge of that?

Would appreciate your suggestions…
Regards.

I have 5 years of development experience but since day one of my IT life was always interested in becoming a DBA. Since past few months I’m getting tired of programming and want to pursue DBA but not sure would it be a right decision? Could you please share some thoughts.

As well should I get certified on 2005 or 2008? So far have only used 2008 to basic level. 05 have used since past 3 years.
