Hi there,
I'll be going through a training couse for SQL Server next month. The class I'm signed up for is M2780: Maintaining a Microsoft® SQL Server™ 2005. My company uses SQL Server 2000 now and unless I give good reasons to upgrade to 2005, we won't be upgrading. I have very little DBA experience, but since I was told SQL Server is my responsibility, I figured it would make sense to go through some type of training for it. My questions are: Is there enough the same between the two that it makes sense for me to take this class? Are there good business reasons I can give for upgrading? If we don't upgrade is it worth taking a class for 2000 vs 2005?

Thanks for any input.

How can you be responsible for "SQL" when you don't know it?

I need some mainframe help on DB2 if you're avaialable

I think you would be better served to lear 2k before 2k5

I agree with Brett. I've done some of the 2000 courses and I think that if you are unsure of SQL, as you seem to be, that you may, at least initially, find SQL 2005 confusing because of some of the differences.
