Hi,
I have to interview someone tomorrow for and ETL/OWB 11.1 position.
The following are 20 (19 I had to delete one. It was nasty) of the toughest Oracle interview questions ever asked.
Obviously I can't ask them tomorrow for many legal reasons.
Are there any questions that you could suggest to me that I could ask that would be good interview questions? Serious ones that won't get me into trouble.
Meanwhile ,..., enjoy the list.
