Microsoft SQL server - interview

[Joe_Fox]

If you had an interview and the words SQL server came up and you were asked to give an example of how you've used it - what would you say. I'm looking for good examples of usage - and also some good phrases/words/jargon to throw in too.

 

[Durham Fox]

From an admin or design perspective?

I would say "I use it every day to drive the data structure behind my websites". But that is true. If you don't use it I wouldn't lie, it's not something you will be able to blag

 

[Joe_Fox]

Blag it - Sounds like a challenge.

Duzz, from both admin and design perspectives.
Also, anyone ever used Rhythmyx CMS?

Its a massive product Joe and if youve never used a version of SQL before you will be fecked at even the most basic of questions outside your blagging. To do that from both an admin AND design perspective is totally unrealistic IMO. Are you even familiar with basic Transact-SQL??

I think Rythmyx is a Percussion tool but I've not seen it.

 

[Joe_Fox]

A little bit, but yes your are right, this may be unblaggable. Rhythmyx is a WMS web management system.

They clearly want a SQL Administrator/Developer ith some Rythmyx Development skills. Ever thought it's the wrong job?? :icon_lol: :icon_lol:

I embrace the fact that I am sad. DV has yet to come to that realisation.

I don't know whether to laugh or cry at the fact I understand these jokes

I would tell them that I would use it to book my City away tickets. But then I never want to work again.

Isn't that what Catholics use to avoid having too many kids?
