Answer 1

Just search on the forums for certification as a keyword and you´ll find many recommendations. Best thing to learn about SQL Server is having experience in your daily work.

Answer 2

You can find details on all of the current SQL Server certifications here:

http://www.microsoft.com/learning/mcp/certifications.mspx

There are four levels (with further specialization in the lower levels):

• Technology Specialist
• Implementation and Maintenance
• Database Development
• Business Intelligence
• IT Professional
• Database Administrator
• Database Developer
• Business Intelligence Developer
• Certified Master
• Certified Architect

Each certification has a good list of prepatory materials for each exam.

Jens is absolutely correct. There is no substitute for Real World Work™ with SQL Server if you want to get a certified for doing database-oriented things.
