Subject:Interview and Database Software From:Henry Vandelinde <vandelinde -at- wordtek -dot- com> To:techwr-l -at- lists -dot- raycomm -dot- com Date:Fri, 19 Nov 1999 13:13:05 -0500
I have an interview next week for a position requiring knowledge of the
following software:
1. ESRI GIS product suite
2. Oracle
3. SQLPlus
I know that all theses apply to managing database info, and the position
requires someone who can design and maintain reference manuals, on-line
help, and implement design changes to the db system.
They know that I have little direct experience with these systems, but I
would like to go in with an understanding of how these work, problems,
learning times, application, and anything else you may think of.
Please reply to me off-line and I'll post a summary.
All help will be greatly appreciated. I'm already shopping for a bigger
boat. :)
Henry
