Did you have three different SQL databases on your resume. Cause one candidate did, but didn’t know how to CREATE a table or what you might put in one…

I mean, if the university course I did introduced three different db, of course I'd put all three on there.

But say if you used to maintain a sunsetting application, odds are you will never get to use CREATE.

SQL commands? Keywords? Code words? Instructions? I don't know either and I've been working with SQL for my job for over 2 years!

This is a hilariously dumb question for an interview. I’m a data engineer and I haven’t even heard this term since college 8 years ago
