I know this has been asked, but I couldn’t locate a recent answer. What is a good certification for SQL? The Microsoft certifications are going away. I’m doing the Udemy boot camp and will follow that up with more studying after I locate what cert to direct that towards.

I have a Masters degree so I can get interviews, but I haven’t done SQL in years. So I want to be able to have tangible evidence of my knowledge in it.

Also, after I do this what direction would you recommend to go for more certifications? Are there other SQL related objectives I could pursue? I debated on Python as I see that is in high demand now, but unsure if that would help get an analyst job.

Thank you for your assistance.

Microsoft certifications are not going away, they are just shifting the focus onto other places.

This is the equivalent to the old MCSA/MCSE for the DBA route

This is the new data engineer certification

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/certifications/exams/dp-203/

Data Science certification

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/certifications/exams/dp-100

Data Analyst / Power-BI

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/certifications/exams/dp-500

And now the split out Cosmos DB cert (this was part of DP-300) but moved to its own cert now

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/certifications/exams/dp-420

The world of data is changing fast, and so must the certifications to keep up with the vast shifts in the data landscape.

Additionally just because most of these new certifications from MSFT contain the word Azure, doesn't mean that they are all focused on the Azure platform. the DP-300 certification contains so many questions in relation to the On-Prem version of SQL as it would have to, for you to run it on an IaaS VM in any cloud platform, that it is still totally relevant to DBA's even if they use AWS/GCP/On-Prem and not Azure due to the vast cross overs that SQL has in all of the different locations still.
