Certification Question

Hi all,

I am new to Sql Server 2005

I planning to take exam MCTP exam 70-445

is the cert 70-431 a pre-requisite for certs 70-445 and 70-446?

Thanks and regards

Currently, according to the 'official' Microsoft websites, 431 is NOT required for SQL BI certification.

See:

SincerelyThere is course 2030
(http://www.microsoft.com/traincert/syllabi/2030AFINAL.ASP) but it is not
part of any certification track yet.

Hope this helps.

Can anyone guide me on how to prepare for exam 229. There is just ton of
information out there. What is a good begining point? I'll appreciate if
someone can send me a link for good mock exams.Personally, I would get a copy of _Inside SQL Server 2000_ by Kalen Delaney.
Read (and understand) it cover-to-cover and you'll be all set.
