It was extremely frustrating looking through stacks of resumes, most with 3-7 years of experience but with only 1 in 10 able to answer a majority of the questions posted here[/url].
I'm sure I was asked all of those questions at an interview recently... was for a Developer, not DBA contract though.
Problem with the "point and click" interface of SQL Server is that a lot of DBA's can get through their day job without having to *think* about what they're doing.
Also someone with 7 years DBA experience could well have only 6 months. The other 6 and a half years is really developer experience which they have fudged on their CV to look like they were a DBA
