What sort of training is required to become a SQL Server DBA?

  • not sure if this question rely belongs here but what sort of training would someone need to become a SQL Server DBA? Going for a job as a junior DBA which includes training so just wondering what that might include? Ta, Jonesy

  • Answer:

    http://www.microsoft.com/learning/en/us/certification/cert-sql-server.aspx. I'd say that a Junior DBA ought to have the knowledge required to become certified MCTS on SQL Server, probably Exam 70-432 for a general DBA. Assuming that you mean MS SQL Server, and not some other SQL Server.
