    Good on you. I've had a few and most went fine, but the last one I did I had a complete meltdown when it was a situational example they wanted and they kept wanting more and more info, then they asked for another example, I just went completely blank!

    think i'd find that more nerve-wracking than a real interview in a room...although the common trend these days is for as many as four people to be interviewing you, not good at all, much prefer the days where you'd turn up nervous, go in a room with one person and it would just feel like a very natural chat.

    To be honest I can even find the answer on Google

    It would appear that it was a question aimed at a DBA though rather than a STA or analyst

    You'd have thought they wouldn't ask you about football in a Job interview. Well done for answering the others correctly.
