SQL questions were moderate. General reporting sqls. Both of them asked me programming questions involving arrays. I answered all pretty well. There was a data modelling question which i had problem understanding. He gave me few co-ordinates and asked me how to represent them in a database / data model.

On the on-site, they had a form of questions that they asked,mostly personality-based/gotcha type of questions. Neither interviewer seemed particularly interested in the interview. One seemed a little threatened by my skill set.
