Top SQL Developer Interview Questions & How to Answer

Question 1

Question #1: What are the types of keys in SQL, and when would you use them?

How to answer
How to answer: This question lets you demonstrate your knowledge of SQL. Discuss the most common types of SQL keys, and talk about how they can identify rows and columns in tables. Keys work as unique identifiers, allowing users to retrieve data easily.
Question 2

How to answer
How to answer: People use SQL normalization to organize data and reduce redundancies. You can demonstrate your experience by discussing the normalization methods you use most. For example, many developers divide a large table into several smaller ones for easier readability.
Question 3

How to answer: Many SQL developers also use JavaScript, HTML, Python, PL/SQL, and other languages. Mention the languages you know and how you used them at your previous job. Also, tell the interviewer about any programming certifications you received.

Interview process was a phone screen and a two part onsite interview which was very grilling at some points. Overall I decided not to take the offer based on the compensation package not being competitive enough as my current package and my job counter offered me to stay. Overall the process was excellent from the first call to the final interview and offer. I would consider in the future and look at their openings and benefits if I'm ever in the market again.
