SQL test for job candidates

Hi! We're hiring a Database Specialist and want to be able to test job candidates' SQL experience. We found an MS SQL interview test online, but we're wondering if anyone out there in the Tessitura community has an interview test they already use successfully or has any advice to share. Thanks!

    I have never been very successful at using code tests to determine technical aptitude. I second the motion about communication and people skills. Also, I feel like I can teach anyone to code, but I can’t teach people to be curious and to think.

    Good luck!
