Certification on Performance Tuning???

On SQL 2000 70028 http://www.microsoft.com/learning/exams/70-028.asp] covers bits & pieces of Performance topic. I believe there is no dedicated certification on this topic.

As far I know, no.

As long as there so many people lacking the basic knowledge, a Performance Tuning cert would be overkill. Apart from this, Performance Tuning can hardly be generalised. Pretty much of it depends on a specific environment.

However, the first one to be concerned with performance and tuning should be the developer.

How many (developers) would take care or even think about it?
I don't think not many as long as they are based as Dev.DBA as well. The main aim for a Developer is to work his code and don't care about other processess that might bring systems down.

I agree that developers need to take care of their deadlines and might therefore produce only suboptimal working code and leave it to the "specialists" to tweak and tune that. But I really don't think that this is the way it should be.

I mean the Developer will only concerned if the query is performing poorly, so then the consideration of using relevant hints and fine tuning will come in to the picture.
