If I remember correctly all of those MS tools take an age to install. If you've done any SQL before MySQL should be fairly easy to get to grips with.Originally Posted by musophilr
This tutorial is fairly good if you need a brush up: http://www.w3schools.com/sql/default.asp
it all sounds like witchdoctory or some sort of devil worship, but I shall wish you all the best nonetheless.
None of you seem to understand; I'm not locked in here with you, you'll all locked in here with me.
Odd combination of technologies they're asking for there, would have assumed they'd want SQLServer with VC++ rather than MySQL, which tends to be used more in a LAMP (linux, apache, mysql, php) environment.
Hope the interview goes well. If you know SQL, you'll pick up the various RDMS implementations pretty quickly anyway.
fanx folks
The SQL tutorial made some kind of sense. Is SQL interpreted or compiled?
Other prep done:
Boots polished, beard trimmed
sorted answers to questions such as
why didn't you use C++ in any of your previous software jobs?
have you done any Object Oriented design? give examples
have you designed a database?
how do you propose to get yourself into this job and be productive as soon as possible?
why haven't you done any software recently? (I must resist the temptation to say "because you wouldn't give me the embedded C/assembler job 6 years ago")
I'm off for a bath & hairwash now (there may not be time to do that in between getting up and going out for the interview) and I'm taking no chances.

Interpreted.
You can connect to an SQL server via a terminal and type commands in directly.
Whatever all this means, I'll have a dump for you. Best of luck with the interview
dont forget your sandles

Good luck! You deserve it.
Either / Both
Late-bound SQL statements are compiled.
