Microsoft MCIPT Certification Training SQL 2005
Designing and Optimizing Data Access By Using Microsoft SQL 2005 Training Exam 70-442
MCITP Certification path
MCITP candidates must first complete the requirements for the MCTS: SQL Server 2005 credential (one exam - 70-431). After earning this credential,
candidates earn their MCITP: Database Developer by passing two required exams (70-441 & 70-442).
Microsoft Certified IT Professional: Database Developer (MCITP: Database Developer) is the premier certification for database designers and
developers. This credential demonstrates that you can design a secure, stable, enterprise database solution by using Microsoft SQL Server 2005.
Database developers design and implement relational database models (logical and physical) and database storage objects. They also program servers by using user-defined functions, triggers, stored procedures,
Transact-SQL, or the CLR. They retrieve or modify data using SQL queries or tune and optimize queries. Database developers are typically employed by mid-sized to large-sized organizations.
Students for this exam are professional database developers who design and implement database solutions. They have three or more years dedicated to database work, which may include writing Transact-SQL queries,
designing and implementing programming objects, optimizing databases, designing databases at both the conceptual and logical levels and implementing databases at the physical level. The typical work environment
is an enterprise or a medium-sized organization. Students should be experienced in using Microsoft SQL Server 2005.
