I don't know that there's any one place to get advanced training online (meaning for free). But there are several places you can go. Microsoft has a number of courses available. I'd definitely start with the source. You can also learn tons and tons just by reading the Books Online. It's a resource that few people use adequately. After that, there are a number of good videos over at SQLShare. You can also find good stuff at SQLServerPedia[/url]. Beyond that, you get into blogs & places like here at SSC or over at Simple-Talk[/url].

thanks for your reply, but i am not looking it for free. i have no issue paying the cost but that should be the good one.

Then all you've got to do is run a search through Google or Bing. Here's one. First thing listed is, again, Microsoft training. Going to the source never hurts.

I'll disagree slightly...
Books alone will not make you a master. Books + experience + experimentation may, with sufficient dedication (which very, very few have) get you to that level.
I have a rather old blog post that touches on this

I was going to say something similar..
You can read every book in the world, but the difference between a jr. dba and a sr. dba is usually that the sr. dba has had hands on experience and had to figure out how to solve issues on their own. I honestly learn more every couple days browsing these forums than I did while studying/taking all the MS SQL cert exams (I'm just shy of MCDBA..which I should get, but I don't want to pay for it myself :))

Not any more... All the MCDBA exams (excluding maybe 1) are retired. You can do the 2005 or 2008 MCTS/MCITP, but not the MCDBA any longer

Shows how long it's been since I started these!
I'll have to look at the cert tree again. Good to know.

Whoops..I meant MCITP rather than MCDBA (which I believe was the 2000 equivalent).
Any tips on how to justify the cost of the exams to my company? I need I believe two more to be MCITP 2005, and then the upgrade to 2008..I started the chain at my last company that just blanket-agreed to pay for all certifications, but my current one isn't quite as easy going.

I couldn't agree more and I wrote one of the books that will supposedly make you a "master."
BTW, speaking only of my book, it won't make you a master. It barely scratches the surface of everything you need to tune queries. I wanted it to be a begginer/intermediate book, but the publishers thought it should be intermediate/advanced.
