    There was an MCP exam for OLAP on SQL Server 7, but that is now retired, and
    there is no SQL Server 2000 version. Considering the emphasis Microsoft has
    put on BI in recent years, I would be very surprised if there wouldn't be a
    BI exam with the set of exams for SQL Server 2005. Possibly, there might
    even be a separate MCDBA with BI specialization, similar to the MCSE with
    security or messaging specialization. The timescales for releasing these
    exams is 6 months after the product is released, which will probably mean
    the first half of next year.
