Radian Group Interview Question

Why do java programmers hate Python? If you had 12 million rows of data to delete from a table, how would you go about it? If you just walked in the door and got a request for data, knowing you're not familiar with the warehouse, what's the first step you would take to find the data?

Python is unstructured. They clearly didn't like that I am very cautious about deleting data from a warehouse. I said the first step was to ask for their guidance but it didn't seem like they liked that answer either. Hiring manager, outside of the panel interview, asked a couple of Microstrategy questions but it was all about SQL, DBA and troubleshooting data warehouse issues. This is not a BI role.
