So I recently had a technical phone interview for a Database Developer position. I haven't had to do any database work in the last year, and I only found out about the interview the night before so I did some cramming about theory, such as normalization, benefits of RDBMS vs flat file system, etc.
Little did I know I was going to be asked for SQL code over the phone ( involving a stored procedure, a JOIN, and a SUM)...Any monkey can learn SQL in an hour or 2...and this fool thinks it's important.
End of rant
