Data is the foundation of all networks, and how we access that data is the critical function of every IT system. As a database administrator you’re the critical go-to person in your organization’s IT department, because you’re the one who manages and protects data access.

Becoming a great database designer and problem solver — and having the certification to prove it — means getting the right training. Whether you’re an experienced SQL Server professional or a new database administrator, this CBT Nuggets video series is the perfect place to start.

Ace trainer Tim Warner gives you a broad overview of SQL Server 2008, including a full discussion of new features and comparison between SQL Server 2008 and earlier editions of the product (this information will be useful to upgraders).

But regardless of whether you’re a new or existing database administrator (DBA), Tim provides you with a deep understanding of Microsoft’s latest version of its enterprise relational database management system (RDBMS), SQL Server 2008.

Every video nugget in this series is loaded with practical tips, tricks, and Web/product references that both DBA newcomers and veterans will find valuable.

Plus, Tim has carefully mapped his training to Microsoft’s 70-432 exam. Passing this exam earns you MCTS certification, and moves you just one test away from prestigious MCITP certification.
