    I think before we get into interview questions, it would be much better to define what a DBA/Developer needs to be, know, and do.

    I remember a post that someone made several years ago that pretty well had it down pat. I was going to add it to my briefcase but I apparently forgot. IIRC, the post was about job descriptions and what was posted in one of the posts on that thread was just brilliant. I wish I could find it again.

    Would it be a post in this article?

    THAT would be the one! Great discussion after a great article. Thanks for finding it, Jason!

    For those that want to know, the exact post on that thread that I was looking for can be found here.

    The article for that discussion thread is also awesome. It's a must read in my book and I'm glad that Jason re-found it for me.

    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.
