database books list I'm planning to buy:
- navathe/elmasri
- connally begg
- date
- korth
- gehrke/ramakrishnan
Also share proper certification roadmap as well.
Before you spend money on books, consider the CMU Database course:
It's free and very comprehensive. The whole channel is a goldmine:
Regarding certification, if you're getting certified in Microsoft, it's all here:
There's no roadmap, it depends on the role you want to certify for, and once you choose that, the paths/exams are predetermined. Note that you will need to retake paid exams to maintain your certification as well. Also note that MS certification is heavily pointed towards cloud solutions; if you're less interested in cloud then it's probably not worth bothering to get certified.

I'm more comfortable reading 5 different textbooks for a topic than watching 2 hrs of 1 lecture:) Thank you for the help though.
