    I don't think it's worth it...

    the tech questions are too basic and the answers are too short. For situational questions, I pretty much was able to predict what's going to be in there before I purchased and the answer to situational questions were "take a deep breadth and calm down... "

    compare to other brent ozar product, i think they could have done a lot better job.... 🙁 I hope they will provide a free "upgraded" version of this training video in the near future.

    Not slamming here but I do have to ask. If people think they know enough to apply for an SQL DBA job, why do they think they need to go through any sample interview questions? Especially ones that cost money?

    What kind of DBA position are you shooting for? Pure admin DBA, application DBA, or hybrid DBA?

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
