    You could ask them how to find duplicate rows in a table. Possibly even finding the highest id value if the id is an integer column, say perhaps an identity. You should be able to learn a lot about them by how they solve this.

    I think this is a good approach.

    I'd start by asking them how to solve various issues pertinent to your environment that maybe you have encountered and resolved in the past. It would give a lot of insight.
