well.... if my applicant does not already know that I'm interviewing him/her 
for an Oracle position (based on job posting and/or previous phone screen), 
then that would probably signify a problem. If I'm hiring for a SQL Server 
position then I would not be surprised. If I'm hiring for an Oracle position, 
I'd be surprised and a bit concerned. 

Also, If the candidate did indicate that dirty writes were allowed, I'd 
probably press forward and say, "Oh, really.... do elaborate on that a bit".

Cheers!

It sure is, but on the interview frivolous assumptions could lead to disastrous 
results 8-)
