MOC 2779 – Designing Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Server-Side Solutions
MOC 2780 – Designing Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Databases
Microsoft Exam 70-441 Designing Database Solutions by Using Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Open License 6.0
COURSE DESCRIPTION:
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.
We recommend students should be an expert in the following areas before taking this course:
~Writing Transact-SQL queries
~ Programming databases
~Troubleshooting programming objects (stored procedures, triggers, user- defined functions (UDFs), user-defined types (UDTs), and queries)
~Performing database performance tuning and optimization
~Designing databases, at both the conceptual and logical levels
~Implementing databases at the physical level
~May be involved in designing and troubleshooting the data access layer of the application
~Gathering business requirements
