Question on sql server certification

I am planning to certify on sql server 2000 and become an MCDBA. I am new to sql server certification track. My understanding is I need to take 4 exams(3 must and 1 optional). I have few questions:
1>> Can I take one exam and still be certified?
2>> When yukon certification track may come?
3>>Whats the sql server certification upgrade path? I mean if I am 2000 certified, how many exams I need to take to upgrade to yukon - the next version.
4>> Can you ssuggest some good materials,urls etc for 2000 certification.
Thx in advance

> 1>> Can I take one exam and still be certified?
Yes, but not as MCDBA - just MCP (Microsoft Certified Professional).

> 2>> When yukon certification track may come?
> 3>>Whats the sql server certification upgrade path? I mean if I am 2000
certified, how many exams I need to take to upgrade to yukon - the next
version.
Both questions can't be answered at this time. You will have to wait, IMO,
for at least one year before we will ge more info.

Look up www.Transender.com on the internet, they sell
practise exams which are the best in the business.
There is an actual Microsoft MCDBA Newsgroup, you may get
some better stuff from there.
