System Requirements… Really?
So this surprised me, but Mark Long said to be sure to know the system requirements for installing SQL Server 2000. Apparently it is a commonly asked question on the certification test (MCDBA).
So the two most commonly asked system requirement questions are about the processor and the RAM needed to install SQL Server 2000. You need a 166 MHz processor or high and you need 128 MB of RAM on Windows XP. He said you might be asked about the hard disc space (250 MB) needed for an installation, so it’s also good to memorize that. I thought it was strange that these questions would be asked now seeing as how its would be difficult to find a computer that did not me these requirements. However, the questions make more sense if you look at when they were written, and if you look at them as knowing SQL Server better over all.
