Call them and tell them you have 5 yrs experience. I bet they ask ‘do you have experience with writing SQL queries?’

Yes? You have? And how much database experience do you have? And they also need stored procedures, any experience of those? Just on the offchance, do you have any experience on RDBMS? The client has asked for it, you see. What about relational databases? Just to make sure, I have a 3 question quiz here for you to answer.... 1. What is an inner join?....

I started on about every non-key attribute being a fact about the only the key and about nothing other than the key and he asked ‘oh, so what is the key concept in this?’

I got asked if I'd ever done CCS. I gave up cos the flipper was obviously too stupid to ever get me a job.
