Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: SqlServer Interview Questions
Although the site has a problems with there SQL server I would have a look
at the notes on the cramsession site for SQL server to give you some
guides.
Also have a look around the MS site for some bulletins on SQL server problems with there fixes and see what there knowledge is there, Another resource is possibly Techrepublic for general interest stuff on SQL server
Try him on routine maintenance things that DBA's should be doing regardless of product. things like index rebuilds, space management, explain plans, etc etc and for a tricky one ask them about the wait interface, can't tell you much about it but it has one and it has a number of wait events that it uses.
Cheers

You can evaluate his / her general attitude about work. Most people give the right answers at first, but you can dig in a bit more to see if they really believe in being organized, etc.
Re. SQL Server I don't know enough about it at this point to be helpful, finding practical issues that aren't covered in the MCSE exams would be ideal I think, just to see.

I've just been elected to particiate in the candidate interview process
for
a SQL Server DBA at one
of our satelite offices. After 10 years of working with Oracle, the only
thing I know about SQL
Server is the weekly security advisories for either it or Win 2k.
Any tips, links, flames, etc would be appreciated.
Thanks,
