SQL Server Interview Questions and Answers - Introduction interview

Hello All,

Thank you all for sending requests for Questions and Answers. It begins from today. This is a six part series. I will update this post once all the six parts are published.

Thank you to the regular reader (name not published as per request) who sent me a new banner for this blog. I hope you all like it.

I have done my best to answer all the emails and comments I have received. Only those comments are published which are adding something more to the original post.

I always welcome email/comments, whether you’re interested in talking about my projects, MS SQL SERVER, ColdFusion, Web Architecture, or have taken an online tutorial class of mine, or even have an event where you believe I’d be a great speaker or panelist. Or just feel free to say “hi” too.

    What you need ? Do you need SQL Server Interview Questions or Oracle 10g Interview Questions? I think you need Oracle 10g. To interview Oracle DBA you do need to know Unix and Oracle ? Lots of web site I think you can find there.
