Fight or flight reaction, wonderful physiological human quality. Regardless of the experience, the smartest of DBA's can be turned into human drivel at first in a high stress environment. Interviews can be hell, particularly when you have a wife and kids and no job, worse yet when English is not your first (or second) language of choice. I try to put them at ease, and take our time in interviews.

Clark Griswold: Eddie, has anyone ever told you that you're bad luck? Cousin Eddie: Those were my mother's dying words. But I guess if your body's covered in third degree burns, and your foot's caught in a bear trap, you tend to start talkin' crazy.

OH MY GOD, someone remembers what I said? thank goodness it worked.
I've learned that my first, panicked reaction is almost invariably, if not wrong, certainly not the best way to fix something. Taking time to THINK instead of jumping in and mucking about is usually best.
you can now see how bad *my* memory is, I can't remember what that magic command was :) Was it the alter datafile out of backup mode one?
(see, I NEVER remember the exact SQL statement, I always hit the reference manual for syntax. There is limited storage space in my brain, if I memorize syntax I have to forget something else... like how to think logically)
