What scares me about the 70-431 exam is the huge amount of complicated
T-SQL commands. Look at the syntax of any T-SQL command with all its
options; many many options, how can I remember them. Do I need to
remember all these instructions for the exam. Please let me know.

If you learn it, you don't have to remember it :) On top of that, I think it
is an easier test than 7.0 or 2000. Just practice and understand why and you
will be fine.

Agree!

70-431 was mutch easier that 70-228/70-229 and 70-028/029

but the follow ups 70-441/70-442 and 70-443/70-444
are more complicated that SQL2000 or SQL7 exams

what is good - You can optain quite easyly MCTS SQL2005

What I can recomment - for repeating, self training and getting the point of
real tests - go thorugh some preparation provider material (measureup or
something like)

But the main point is - You dont know exact syntacs or exact options for
every single thing (I don't know for example and in real life BOL is always
opened on my hand, during work, during traiining etc - unfortunately not
allowed during exams :))

You have to know and understand the principles of things. The structure, the
goal, the reason and the target of sql sentences.
As I remember - there wasn't so much in 431 about performance stuff

With bests

PS! Let me know when You pass the 431 :)
