I would like to share my answers. What is database? It is a base which allows to store data. How do people connect to the database? Usualy by supplying the username and password. What is the most important user of the database? MMM, i would say the one who pays most money. Are you active in any social networks? Do you blog? I can use the internet. What is you best way to relieve stress? Relax. Which is faster: inserting or updating. 1 create - store 2 retrive - change - store If I asked you to learn how to make a query faster, where would you go? I would go to the query and look why da hek is it so slow? Have you ever built your own computer? Can't say. What materials do i have to do it? What motivates you? To do what? Our on-call policy is [blank]. Is that OK? Of course! How do you troubleshoot problems in your current role? I start from simple things. For example: is the power cable plugged in? Thank you for the questions. I would like to share my answers.
