Process

I was contacted by a manager after submitting my resume for a specific position. I spoke with him about the position and his team.

A few days later, I went in for an interview.

The team members seemed very sharp and all got along very well. I was asked specific questions in a number of one-on-one interviews about:

  • PL/SQL syntax
  • Using PL/SQL collections
  • Using JDBC in a Java program to iterate through a result set
  • Various considerations when tuning a SQL database
  • How indexes affect execution plans of SQL
  • Why indexing is important
  • How B+-tree indexes work

Questions

How does a B+ tree index work?
