MCSA SQL 2016 Changes

It seems that Microsoft has changed the format of the MCSA for the SQL path for 2016. The SQL 2016 MCSA is now broken into three parts MCSA: SQL 2016 Database Development, MCSA: SQL 2016 Database Administration, and MCSA: SQL 2016 Business Intelligence Development. Each MCSA now only requires two test instead of the three it took to receive the MCSA: SQL Server 2012/2014 certification.

1. Querying Microsoft SQL Server 2012/2014 070-461
2. Administering Microsoft SQL Server 2012/2014 Databases 070-462

Let it never be said that I didn't do the very least I could do.
It does seem to make a lot sense to divide them up, because this is often what happens in practice - someone designing models, someone provisioning servers and administering, and the BI thing is a whole other area.
