    So I was asked to answer a bunch of nasty Xpath syntax questions, needless to say I didn't get the job (not that I mind).

    What type of job was it for? DBA, DB Dev, App Dev, or ???

    DBA/Dev

    Unfortunately, the Dev side of that is going to require some pretty good knowledge of XML and all of the things that support it.

    If it were me, I'd try to remember most of the questions asked in this area and get busy studying and using XML. Then, call the company back and ask them if they hired anyone or if they're still interested in you even if they did.

    If nothing else comes of it, at least you'll be ready for your next interview with a different company.

    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.
