Questions asked in Oracle job interviews (?)

Three years ago I had used 6.0, Forms 2.3, PRO*C etc extensively on a couple of large projects. I did well and fancied myself something of an expert at the time. Since my only Oracle work has been giving a little undergraduate teaching with 7.1 and Forms 3.0, but it wasn't in great depth.

After a break for a PhD I'm now applying for an Oracle job, to use V7 and Forms 4.5. Problem is I've never been interviewed for Oracle - my earlier job was by invitation. Also I'm more than a little rusty as I've done no Oracle for years, and this (very nice) job is rather a surprise to me!

I can't begin to guess what sort of questions might be asked to verify that I know some Oracle. As the job promises training to 4.5 they're not expecting the latest hot skills. I'm just afraid of being asked something I used to know well, but under pressure 'freezing' and forgetting.

Can anyone offer any hints as to the sort of tech questions that might be asked? I'm familiar with general interview technique, that's not the problem, just specific Oracle points.

Email responses preferred for speed as I only have a couple of days! I'll summarise if anyone else is interested in this.

Background: company is software consulting division of very large group.
