Are you the DBA going to the interview or are you doing the interviewing?

Search for 'sql server DBA interview questions' on google.

One question that I ask that hardly anyone gets right and really seperates out DBAs is 'what are the ACID properties of a transaction?' Maybe just ask what does ACID mean and see what they answer, if the say anything about transactions.

The last interview I had the technical part was a practical test as they had had people cheat before by learning common questions and then when they get the job they can't do it, I had to fix a SQL Server that wouldn't start, backup files, install SSRS, move databases etc.
