Upgrade: Transition Your MCITP SQL Server 2005 DBD to MCITP SQL Server 2008 DBD
About this Exam
This is an upgrade exam that allows a candidate to upgrade their MCITP Database Developer certification from SQL Server 2005 to SQL Server 2008.
Audience Profile
Candidates for this exam are IT Professionals or Developers who have a minimum of one year of experience in a position in which their main area of responsibility is database development by using SQL Server 2005 or SQL Server 2008. Alternatively, they work in an environment in which databases are directly related to their primary job roles. These candidates have sought out knowledge of and experience using SQL Server 2008 to enhance their technical expertise, and they would like to take the exam to be able to demonstrate this technical expertise. Candidates should also be proficient at creating and managing database objects by using SQL Server T-SQL. Roles these candidates typically fill include:
database developers who use a SQL Server 2008 database as a component of their overall solutions
software developers who sometimes write application code against systems that run SQL Server 2008 and also sometimes write T-SQL or Microsoft .NET code that runs inside SQL Server 2008
developers who create, extend, or support third-party applications that are built on SQL Server 2008
Credit Toward Certification
When you pass Exam 70-454: Upgrade: Transition Your MCITP SQL Server 2005 DBD to MCITP SQL Server 2008 DBD, you complete the requirements for the following certification(s):MCITP: Database Developer 2008
