How our MySQL interview questions work
DevSkiller MySQL interview questions are powered by the RealLifeTestingTM methodology. RealLifeTestingTM is based on the idea that to accurately assess a developer’s skills, you need to present them with challenges similar to the development work they actually do. Seems obvious right? Up until now, developer testing has focused on challenging developers by asking them to recite coding patterns and algorithms that they don’t use in their everyday work. Understandably this can be frustrating for developer candidates who don’t feel like they are given the chance to really demonstrate what they can do. Devskiller MySQL interview questions are changing this. We offer recruiters an opportunity to see how each candidate copes with realistic challenges that reflect their actual work environment. Candidates are assessed on their coding ability, their time-management, and their quick-thinking skills.

What to look for in a MySQL developer
If you are hiring a MySQL developer you will need to know which special skills to look out for. SQL is a very popular Fourth Generation Programming Language (4GL). It is often also embedded in more general-purpose programming languages like Java, in order to access data from central databases.
The vast majority of MySQL performance-related issues can be solved by proper indexing, so it is vital your developer be skilled in this area. Understanding where use of an index will be beneficial is essential for any good MySQL developer.
SQL has evolved a lot during the past decades so you will need someone who is up to date. Various features have been implemented to make the SQL language easier to manage. Set theory is important as it allows developers to perform bulk operations on entire data sets, directly in the database. You will want your developer to know about this. An understanding of window functions and CTE will also be helpful.

Candidates need to show their knowledge of resources like Stack Overflow, demonstrate their coding skills, and implement problem-solving solutions.
How are MySQL interview questions evaluated?
Devskiller testing is designed to make your recruitment process as simple as possible, which means we have automated our evaluation process to give you less to do. Once a candidate is finished with their test, the DevSkiller platform automatically gets to work on the results. Candidates are evaluated on the solutions they offer to problems, the amount of errors in their code, and the quality of the code. Results are formulated into an easy to understand report that even non-technical recruiters will be able to easily understand.
