The cheap and cheerful way: Arm yourself with the "skills being measured" http://www.microsoft.com/learning/exams/70-229.asp and the code clinic links http://www.codeclinic.com/70-229skills.htm and do a brute-force study of the Books On-line (BOL) SQL Server 2000 Books Online (Updated 2004) http://www.microsoft.com/sql/techinfo/productdoc/2000/books.asp If you like a more linear approach, use: Professional SQL Server 2000 Programming by Robert Vieira 1440 pages Publisher: Wrox; (November 15, 2000) ISBN: 0764543792 http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0764543792 http://www.wiley.com/WileyCDA/WileyTitle/productCd-0764543792.html or Inside Microsoft SQL Server 2000 (With CD-ROM) by Kalen Delaney 1088 pages Microsoft Press; Book & CD edition (November 15, 2000) ISBN: 0735609985 http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0735609985 http://www.microsoft.com/MSPress/books/4297.asp Those two books may miss a few topics for the exam but tend to go into more detail in general. By all accounts this one isn't as complete or comprehensive as Gunderloy/Kalani in their areas: MCDBA, MCSE, MCSD, MCAD Training Guide (70-229): SQL Server 2000 Database Design and Implementation by Thomas Moore (Author), Ed Tittel (Author) Edition: Paperback Publisher: Que; (March 2003) ISBN: 0789729970 http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0789729970 Otherwise check with http://groups.google.com/groups?as_epq=70-229&safe=images&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&as_ugroup=microsoft.public.*&lr=&hl=en Practice with: Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Desktop Engine (MSDE 2000) Release A http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=413744d1-a0bc-479f-bafa-e4b278eb9147&DisplayLang=en or even better (if 120 days are enough) SQL Server 2000 Evaluation Edition Release A (Protects Against the Slammer Worm) http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=D20BA6E1-F44C-4781-A6BB-F60E02DC1335&displaylang=en Or you could opt out and choose a different elective entirely like 70-330/340.
