As I mentioned in previous posts, I’m going to take a shot at one of the MySQL certifications offered. I ran across a post on the net from a guy that confirmed that the study guide available at amazon did cover the DBA level of certification.
The aforementioned post on passing the Database Administrator cert recommended focusing on:
* Definitions
* Examples
* Functions
* Command Options
* Gotchas
* Anything bulleted in the guide.
* Best Practices
Interesting to note, there’s also apparently a cluster database administrator certification that relies on its own study guide. It is the final level of MySQL certification exists and has the database administrator certification as a pre-requisite… which is actually nice, because it means that if you’ve already got one of the certifications getting this one costs half as much, since the other tests are two part. I guess they had to throw us a bone somewhere.
