obviously depends on what you are paying, but for your dollar these
days, you should get sound relational database knowledge, I'd expect
someone to understand and explain

what Normalised data is.

 explain referential integrity

 explain indexing

 explain views

 talk about triggers 

 code in a SQL language base of some description.. TSQL I think for MS

 

In terms of specific product knowledge, I'd expect them to be able to
discuss tablespace admin, transactional logging, rolling-back/forward
etc, where do babies come from.. that kind of thing

        Subject: [THIN] OT: Interview questions for DBA / Report Writter

        Off topic but I am going to interview a DBA / Report Writter
this morning and was wondering if anyone had suggestions on what
questions to ask? I'm interested in their ability to create, modify,
manage, document, a SQL database and write Crystal reports. 

         

        As I'm not a DBA any suggestions would be most welcome.

         

        Thanks,
