Few days ago I have noticed that there will be a change (again) in certification paths for next generation of SQL servers. So I would like to recommend some thoughts about this from Microsoft Certified Masters (MCM) of Brent Ozar PLF Company.
Michal Tinthofer is the face of the Woodler company which (as he does), is fully committed to complete support of Microsoft SQL Server products to its customers. He often acts as a database architect, performance tuner, administrator, SQL Server monitoring developer (Woodler SMT) and, last but not least, a trainer of people who are developing their skills in this area.
