Thanks,

 

Each day, what I have to learn just gets larger, it never diminishes.
But math intuitively tells me the more I learn the less is left over....
So confusing.

Hi Joel,

 

It was and interesting discution and usefull from many aspects. 

I also would advice not to "kill" candidate with your questions - you
might need to work with him. And good relationships often overweights
technology decisions. 

In praparation on Hibernate discution you might want to look into this
article (it's short) which list main points -

Luckily for me, I am not doing the hiring, nor the real interviews.   I
have been invited if I desire to question the candidate with respect to
the database.   I appreciate all the good advice everyone has given me,
and I will definitely use a lot of it.  

 

First I will speak with the actual interviewer to be on the same page,
which is the main goal before appearing in the same room with the
candidate.   One thing I have learned already is that he like tools like
Hibernate which he believes renders actual coding (PL/SQL) less
relevant.   However, a caveat here is there is somewhat of a language
barrier, and he also agrees that the best place for SQL is in the
database.

 

So...I'm going one step at a time, and just want someone who agrees with
the main points presented here which boils down to, are you easy to get
along with and learn, can you code PL/SQL.   We don't expect him to be
doing the modeling.   With those skills and attributes we should be able
to get good delelopment efforts.   It is a senior java development
position.
