微软认证数据库管理员

微软认证数据库管理员(MCDBA)为微软针对SQL Server数据库所推出的独立认证,特别针对数据库管理员所设计,持有此认证的专业人员,可被视为具有管理SQL Server以及设计数据库应用的专业能力与知识。MCDBA最早是自SQL Server 7.0开始推出,历经SQL Server 2000时期,两个时期的认证要求差不多,都是要求通过四科考试,包含数据库系统管理,数据库设计,服务器操作系统管理以及选考科目。

本认证已随着Exam 70-228与Exam 70-229于2009年3月31日停考后正式走入历史,但已发出的认证为永久有效。

MCDBA on SQL Server 7.0

MCDBA on SQL Server 7.0是第一代的MCDBA认证,配合SQL Server 7.0所需要的执行环境,以及程序发展的需求所设计,当时的作业环境为Windows 2000,并且在SQL Server 7.0中首次支持数据仓库的建置,但在当时并不是主要的需求,因此将数据仓库的考试放置在选考科目中。
