    Craig,

    I have not copied these q's from any site, these are the questions i was asked in the interview. I'm a newbie to this site and this is my first post. Before seeing your reply, I never thought that these questions would annoy you so much. Anyway thank you very much all of you for your answers.

    Oh, that's not annoyed. If you want to see me annoyed, go find some of my responses to Celko's postings.

    I'm trying to emphasize to you that not doing your own research means that I'm not going to give you my research, and that you need to put some thought into your questions. Why would you post a question requesting assistance for an answer about your own personal experience? It seemed you put no thought, nor effort, into the question list before throwing it up here. I put a little thought, and a little effort, into answering... mostly for other readers.

    Your questions I actually would have simply skipped if there weren't others that would end up reading it because of hitcount from Google and the topic title. We're volunteers. If you won't put any effort in, why should I?

    This was all mentioned above, but since you specifically mentioned me, I figured it would be worth a response. I'm hoping this will help you in the future when you ask here, or elsewhere, for assistance. Show your work, show your research. Interviews in particular are a sore spot amongst many professionals, as we've pretty much all dealt with the person who's crammed for the test and then forgotten it a week later on the job.
