During the interview, you will likely face some questions that test your database knowledge, skills, or scenarios. To answer them confidently and clearly, listen carefully to the question and ask for clarification if needed. As you work on the problem, it is important to think out loud and explain your reasoning and assumptions. If needed, use
tags to write or pseudocode your queries or commands. Make sure to check your syntax, logic, and output for errors or inconsistencies. If you don't know the answer, admit it and try to offer an alternative or a way to find out the answer.
###### Ask your questions
Finally, you should also prepare some questions to ask your interviewer about the database-related aspects of the role, the company, or the project. This will demonstrate your interest, curiosity, and enthusiasm for the position. You may inquire about the main database systems and tools used or planned for use, typical database-related tasks or challenges faced or expected to be faced, how data security, privacy, or integrity are managed in databases, how collaboration with other developers, analysts, or users is handled on database projects, and how database performance, scalability, or reliability are measured and improved.
