Has anyone taken the MCDBA cert? How was the exam?
Which exams holds more weight?

both of them have very little value, not even worth the time and money you spend on getting one. in the last 2 years I worked for 3 companies and had numerous interviews and no one even asked me about any certificates. experience and practical knowledge, that's what counts!

I am currently working through my MCDBA cert course (which also includes the COMPTIA A+ and MCP certs) Before taking this step i tried to gain practical experience by applying to lower level, lower paid IT jobs which in some way used sql server and databases. My problem was no one wants to know unless you have experience in a similar role! but my question is HOW DO YOU GAIN EXPERIENCE, IF EVERYONE WANTS EXPERIENCE?? So i feel that achieving these qualifications will deffinetly help me break into a role i want to progress in and hopefully one day master. (even if they just look good on my C.V at least theyll get me into a job where i can gain experience!)

I can't believe techrepublic waste people's time by emailing the link for this thread. It contains no info.
That's it - I'm unsubscribing.
