And two more type of question that should always be asked in an interview. They are:

Describe the process you go through installing a newly released version of Oracle.

And the answer had better start out with ... "I read the readme file."

2. Ask a question where the correct answer is "You can't do that in Oracle."

It greatly aids in identifying those who just make stuff up when they don't know the correct answer.
