    This may not be the forum to ask this question.

    If you do know the best place to raise this question let me know.

    What is the first exam that needs to be done whether you would be taking the DBA track or the Developer TRACK ?

    The foundation certification for both SQL Server dev and DBA is MCSA:

    Once you have passed the three MCSA exams, you may work toward one of the SQL Server MCSE certifications.

    You don't have to take the exams in a particular order, as long as they're from the MCSA certification. I would suggest that you start with the one you feel more confident.

    afaIK, there isn't a separate dev/dba track. Last time I looked at the certs, the split (which is at the MCSE level) is DB engine vs BI
