    I've answered the counting question before. I didn't get the job in the end, but I suspect it was due to experience rather than interview technique (when I asked them if there was anything specific that had stopped them from hiring me, I didn't get an actual answer). Anyway, this is how I answered the counting question: -

    Now THAT's what I'm talking about! Nicely done. I've been known to take the ability to communicate and explain like that over experience (depending on the demands of the job, of course) because I think it's an incredibly important aspect of being a DBA or SQL Developer that so very many people overlook and fail to achieve.

    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.
