Are there any SQL certifications geared towards analyst level work, not development?

I took the SQL developer certification and it was a little to much for me to handle. I could ramp up but I am thinking why be someone you aren't or don't need. I am looking for an SQL certification that is entry level, but indepth enough to show I can use SQL to create all sorts of queries and know the fundlementals of relational databases.
All I can think of now is Access and that doesn't really talk to much about SQL, infact is uses ANSI 86 not 92 like most SQL database management systems.
Thoughts? Maybe I am SOL

Nevermind just looked it up. That looks very promising.
Thanks PT serious rep for that!
Querying Microsoft SQL Server 2012
This would be a good entry level exam, not a developer exam but would help there also.

I mean honestly I don't markup my SQL with XML and 433 was all about XML.
I just saw XML in the description, hopefully it's a small percentage of the actual exam unlike 433.

Do you know if you can get free trials of this application off hand? And if so is this something you can self lab? We have it in the environment but I would feel weird asking for access to learn how to report in Business Objects/Crystal Reports.

Thanks again for the great information. I am actually excited about this exam, it synchs up with what I am trying to convey to my employee or future ones.
There's academic versions of Crystal out there. I would just see if you can build a SQL server at the office on some old clunky machine, install an academic version of Crystal at your desk and plug away.
I understand the awkwardness bit, believe me. Some environments are politically or culturally that way; in others it's a matter of having licensing and/or security issues that would make it infeasible for them to provide you those capabilities.

Pre ordered the book for queries.
Looking at upgrading from 2008 express to 2012
But 461 does look good, I might consider it sometime next year after CCNP.
If it makes you feel any better, I just moved from 05 to 08
