微软认证数据库管理员（MCDBA）为微软针对SQL Server数据库所推出的独立认证，特别针对数据库管理员所设计，持有此认证的专业人员，可被视为具有管理SQL Server以及设计数据库应用的专业能力与知识。MCDBA最早是自SQL Server 7.0开始推出，历经SQL Server 2000时期，两个时期的认证要求差不多，都是要求通过四科考试，包含数据库系统管理，数据库设计，服务器操作系统管理以及选考科目。
本认证已随着Exam 70-228与Exam 70-229于2009年3月31日停考后正式走入历史，但已发出的认证为永久有效。
MCDBA on SQL Server 7.0
MCDBA on SQL Server 7.0是第一代的MCDBA认证，配合SQL Server 7.0所需要的执行环境，以及程序发展的需求所设计，当时的作业环境为Windows 2000，并且在SQL Server 7.0中首次支持数据仓库的建置，但在当时并不是主要的需求，因此将数据仓库的考试放置在选考科目中。
