We are hiring a DBA at my company Corzen and
instead of looking at resumes/cvs we are looking at how people solve particular SQL
problems-not just the solution but the approach they take. (Do you use temp tables,
(nolock), CTEs, table alias, etc.)
Here are the five test questions we ask. (If you want to come work here, just email
me the answers.)
Here are three TSQL problems that
can judge how you approach a SQL problem. There are no real wrong answers, but the
more efficient and bulletproof the query is the better. No cheating and no cursors!

Tech*Ed here in Barcelona is progressing well. Richard and I did the TSQL session
yesterday for 500 people as well as recording a .NET
Rocks show on Agile Development with Roy
Osherove and Kate Gregory.
After we went drinking at the Norway party. What happens at TechED Europe is that
each country put on a party for their attendees. Since there is a TechEd in the USA
there is no party for Americans. So the Norwegians took pity on us speakers and invited
us. Thanks again!
After the party we went to Football!
Today was an XQuery session and now we do...
