RE: interview with Oracle

Not an Oracle interview, but for my current position as Sneior DBA, I was asked -  

Why are manhole covers round ?  

If you were transported back into the 14th century, how would you convince the pope that the Earth was round ?  

You are standing on a yacht sitting on a small lake, if you find a boulder on the deck of the yacht and roll it over the side into the water, what happens to the water level of the lake ?

Yeah, they do. The question I got was "How would you transit a Black Hole?"

Well, everyone knows that.  

1. It depends on the ethnicity of the swallow
2. What you get when you multiply six by eight
3. The shade of purple with the most vowels

I'm sure they'll ask something a bit more arcane... but you always look on the bright side of life.

Yes it is. It is like Spanish Inquisition and nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition. They asked the following questions:

1. Air velocity of an unladen swallow.
2. The answer to the question of life, universe and everything.
3. The color of the database which takes the least amount of RAM.

Subject: interview with Oracle

Hello all

Someone I know has a graduate interview with Oracle. Has anyone else had the same , and if so, what sort of questions do they ask you? Is it any different than your normal interview?
