你先要拿到MCSA，
Microsoft Certified Solutions Associate (MCSA)

拿到MCSA需要通过以下三门考试，
Exam 70-461: Querying Microsoft SQL Server 2012
Exam 70-462: Administering Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Databases
Exam 70-463: Implementing a Data Warehouse with Microsoft SQL Server 2012

拿到MCSA以后，可以继续升级拿到MCSE
Microsoft Certified Solutions Expert (MCSE)

MCSE 分两个方向，MCSE: Data Platform or the MCSE: Business Intelligence
数据库管理，和商业智能

数据库管理方向需要通过以下两门考试
MCSE: Data Platform involves
Obtain your SQL Server 2012 MCSA
Exam 70-464: Developing Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Databases
Exam 70-465: Designing Database Solutions for Microsoft SQL Server 2012

商业智能方向需要通过以下两门考试
MCSE: Business Intelligence involves
Obtain your SQL Server 2012 MCSA
Exam 70-466: Implementing Data Models and Reports with Microsoft SQL Server 2012
Exam 70-467: Designing Business Intelligence Solutions with Microsoft SQL Server 2012

============================================

总结一下，拿到SQL BI 认证，需要先通过3门考试拿到MCSA，再通过2门考试拿到MCSE，所以一共需要通过5门考试。

Exam 70-461: Querying Microsoft SQL Server 2012
Exam 70-462: Administering Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Databases
Exam 70-463: Implementing a Data Warehouse with Microsoft SQL Server 2012
Exam 70-466: Implementing Data Models and Reports with Microsoft SQL Server 2012
Exam 70-467: Designing Business Intelligence Solutions with Microsoft SQL Server 2012

SQL 2012 的认证结构复杂了，需要很多米啊。

Two new Professional-level certifications will be introduced for SQL Server: the Data Platform certification and the Business Intelligence certification
SQL 认证分两个，数据库和BI

The database developer and database administrator certifications were merged into an overall Data Platform certification
原来SQL 2008 时的 database developer 和 DBA 两个认证，在SQL 2012 认证体系中被合二为一，变成数据库平台认证

To achieve a Professional-level certification you must successfully pass five exams
The beta versions of these exams are scheduled to release in late March 2012 (see Register for SQL Server 2012 Beta Exam).
MCSA不是专业认证，得到专业认证MSCE需要通过5门考试。

The certifications will be available in June 2012
今天你就可以开始着手准备认证。

To upgrade from a Professional-level SQL Server 2008 certification (MCITP) to a Professional-level SQL Server 2012 certification, you must successfully pass three exams, rather than five.  More information will be provided on upgrade paths in mid-April
原来的那些什么SQL 2008认证体系的MCTS，MCITP之类的都需要升级到2012的MCSE 才算数。

Each professional-level certification will require recertification every three years.  For more info, check out the frequently asked questions about recertification
今后认证每3年需要重新考一次！！！

There is not a product version in the certification titles due to the recertification requirement
好处是，今后认证不随着SQL版本号升级了，你每三年考一次就是升级。

感觉就是今后单纯的 database developer 还是单纯的DBA 都不行了，要二者合一。BI还是独挡一块，不过BI也需要充实的数据库编程知识。
