I'm a SQL Server 2000 newbie and I want to go for the MCDBA certification. Just wondering if there is anyone else out there in the milwaukee area that happens to be studying for this as well. I just got an associates degree in computer information systems and am starting to realize that I'm going to have to do a lot of extra learning before I can land my first real job. I've had two job interviews since I graduated and had I known more about SQL Server 2000 I could have landed either of them. So now my plan is to hit the books as hard a possible and try to churn these exams out and get the certification.
