在上一篇文章中，我列出了在面試SQL Server數據庫開發者時會提問的一些問題，如果我對應聘者的口頭回答部分感到滿意，我會讓他們參加TSQL編程能力的測試，沒有比動手操作數據庫更有效的方法了，我認為TSQL測試是考察應聘人員的好辦法。

一些免責聲明

即使不是全部的話，這些TSQL問題中的大部分都可以使用不同的方法解決，我所提供的答案是我書寫查詢的方法，也是我所希望見到的答案，但是，既然答案不是唯一的，那么一位精通SQL編程的閱卷人是至關重要的，這樣不同的答案才能被合理地考察和評分。

在這個測試中，沒有關于指針、存儲過程或觸發器的問題，因為我所考察的是申請者實現復雜查詢和數據修改語句的能力，如果應聘者能夠在測試中表現良好，那么我相信他們在編寫存儲過程和觸發器方面是不會遇到很多麻煩的。

預備考試腳本

在開始考試之前，我需要一個模式和一些數據來運行所要考核的查詢，列表A創建了所需的這些數據：

列表A：

IF OBJECT_ID('Sales') > 0
       DROP TABLE Sales
 GO
 IF OBJECT_ID('Customers') > 0
       DROP TABLE Customers
 GO
 IF OBJECT_ID('Products') > 0
       DROP TABLE Products
 GO

一旦我載入了這些數據，我就可以開始測試了（提示：我會讓應聘者將他們編寫的SELECT/UPDATE/INSERT/DELETE 語句存儲在一個文本文件中，這樣我以后可以隨時閱覽）。
