How many exams need to be successfully completed to become MCDBA
Certified for SQL Server 2005?

What are the exam numbers?

What are the best books to purchase in order to learn/study for the
exams?

Would anyone recommend taking a certification class to better learn/
understand/prepare for the exam(s)?

IF YES
THEN "What company/classes would you recommend"

What is an average/approximate time-frame for becomming certified for
a current intermediate-level DBA? Your experience with certification?

Thanks for the help!
