The MCDBA is outdated. It was a certification for "Database Administration on SQL Server 2000". The exams for this version of SQL Server have been retired.

Instead, you can become a MCITP:Database Administrator on SQL Server 2005 or 2008. The requirements are here:

Basically, you need to take exams 70-432 and 70-450.
