MCTS pre-req removed for 2008?

    I'm preparing for the 70-433 SQL SERVER 2008 Database Development.

    I was digging through some of the 2005 material and went across this information.

    http://www.microsoft.com/learning/mcp/mcitp/dbdev/default.mspx

    The above site states that in order to get either 70-441 or 70-442, you must have 70-431.

    I guess that is not true for 70-433, right?

    You can get certified for 70-433 right away, without any pre-requisite, right?

    Can anyone confirm..?

    Thanks...

    70-433 is one of the SQL 2008 MCTS exams, so it's the 2008 equivalent of 70-431 (for SQL Development). The SQL 2008 MCITP exam is 70-451 and that exam has a pre-req of 70-433

    SQL 2005 had only 1 MCTS exam and then you could do either of the ITP certs. SQL 2008 has two separate MCTS exams, each of which is a pre-req for the equivalent MCITP exam.
