Oracle certification equivalents from microsoft? Entry-level

Hi

What is the MS equivalent to 1Z0-047 Oracle Database SQL Expert?

And to Database 11g Administrator Certified Associate (OCA)?

MCTS SQL Server 2008 is the closest thing to "associate" level they have, but I wouldn't consider it an entry level cert on the order of some of Microsoft's other certs.

MCITP: Database Administrator is the "expert"

They also have Microsoft Certified Master and Microsoft Certified Architect, which you won't sniff unless you're working for Microsoft as a SQL field engineer or working for a large MS partner who will pay the tens of thousands of dollars to get you certified.
