    Hi,

    SQL 2005

    For MCITP: Database Administrator you need:

    Exam 70-431 (This is also the MCTS exam for SQL 2005)
    Exam 70-443
    Exam 70-444

    SQL 2008

    For MCITP: Database Administrator 2008 you need:

    Exam 70-432 (This is also the MCTS exam for SQL 2008)
    Exam 70-450

    You could also go for both certifications, there is a upgrade exam available:

    Exam 70-453

    If you want to do only one cert I would go for the SQL 2008 track, a lot of the knowledge you learn for
    that certification also applies to SQL 2005, otherwise consider to take also the upgrade exam after the
    SQL 2005 track, its only one more exam. Other thing to consider is that the 70-431 exam is a combined dba/developer exam and contains
    T-SQL  developer questions.

    HI Amit,
     
                  Better you can go for SQL Server 2008 instead of SQL Server 2005. After one year SQL Server 2008 demands will be very high. so, my suggestion go for 2008.              



    For SQL Server 2008 Database Administrator you have to pass two exams

    MCITP: Database Administrator 2008

    Exam 70-432

    Exam 70-450


    For SQL Server 2005 Database Administrator you have to pass three exams:

    MCITP: Database Administrator

    Exam 70-431

    Exam 70-443

    Exam 70-444
