INTRODUCTION
With mainstream Microsoft support of SQL Server 2000 ending on April 8, 2008, the importance of SQL Server 2005 continues to increase. Watching job advertisements, I'm seeing more and more job openings for database administrators and database developers, and an increase in SQL Server 2005 listed in the desired skills set.
As the Microsoft SQL Server 2005 market share grows, so does the demand for qualified DBMS experts to develop and maintain complex databases.
