I got Master Degree in computer science in 2001 from Lahore after that I had taken admission in Oracle 8 DBA and completed my certification, but unluckily I couldn't get any DBA job. I wasted a lot of my time in other jobs now I want to get back in IT field again. One of my friend suggested me to learn SQL SERVER. I need your suggestions in this regard that shall I do SQL SERVER Course, if so which version and how should I prepare it, either my self or from some college. Thanks in advance.

Regarding what version, Its best to go with the latest which is 2008.

Though many companies are yet to deploy or support it.

Regarding IT jobs, the recession has done a lot of damage in many areas. 2-3 years ago in the UK IT jobs were hot cake esp contracts, but now its almost gone with the wind.

Its either you go with DBA or developer, normally as a developer, you should have extra experience with a frontend language
