I had a great time at the SQL Saturday #73 in Huntington Beach, CA yesterday. Not only was I was able to attend some amazing sessions from the likes of @MrDenny, @denisemc06 and @cgkunz – I got to present on a topic very close to my heart: “SSIS Development: Improving package reliability.”

I need to take a second to actually let this sink in by writing out that I am now an MCITP in SQL Server 2008 Business Intelligence. Done.

As I’ve done on my previous posts on certification tests, I’m going to use this opportunity to reflect and provide some feedback on what to expect on the Microsoft SQL Server 2008 – Business Intelligence exam – 70-452.

I passed the Microsoft SQL Server 2008: Business Intelligence Implementation & Maintenance (70-448) exam this morning.

I passed this test on SQL Server 2005 back in 2010, and was expecting a lot of overlap in content but I’m suprised how much more difficult it was. I commend the MS certification exam committee for continually making these tests more challenging.
