Yup, you got that right. I went through my first, almost 45 minute,
technical interview on Oracle. I did alright mostly until the end, when
the interviewer first asked me to describe over the phone a COUNT query
against a single table, then describe a COUNT query involving ten tables
where the result set must show the count for each month, one per each
table. I had a "brain freeze" right there. I knew he was asking for a
crosstab query, but all I could describe was a Cartesian product query.
As said in the movie "Top Gun": "One must evaluate what has happen, so he
can apply what was learned." So I need to learn more about the technical
interview over the telephone and learn how to give syntax verbally.
