  Yes you would be an MCITP SQL 2005 Administrator which is the certification for a dba.

  Hi there,
  
  Just for more information, please have a look at: http://www.microsoft.com/learning/mcp/certifications.mspx (find in the list SQL 2005 certification)
  
  There are few SQL 2005 certs which differ in exam amount etc.
  
  Hope this helps,
  
  Cheers,
  Ben

  You can take exams in any order you want, there is no requirement for it. Just note that you achieve a certificate only if you pass all required exams :)
  
  as for the books (and training materials in general), just find the exam you want to pass, e.g. http://www.microsoft.com/learning/en/us/exams/70-445.mspx
  
  and then scroll down to Preparation tools and resources. Here you can see all (well, all MS official) training materials, such as books, e-learning, class led training :)
  
  Unforunately can't tell you which one would be the best for you, as it depends what experience and knowledge you already have :) However most of press books are well prepared to cover most of the exams knowledge :)
