Thanks for that.I'm actually look for more of an Analytical question rather than tech skills questions...
For example giving them puzzles to see what there approach to problem solving is like.
Part of the tech skills an SQL Developer should have is how to analyze, solve, and write SQL questions. The only way to find out if they can analyze a problem to materialize as an SQL solution is to give them problems that require the answer as an SQL Script.
Asking questions like "Which one of the following is different" are just going to get you a lot of obvious answers that have nothing to do with SQL and have nothing to do with problem solving even though the question has a lot to do with analysis...
