One very powerful "trick" is to use partial indexes where useful. For example, a pretty common pattern is to have tables where most rows aren't actively used most of the time, eg when you have a status column, and most rows

I use basically the same process, but use a very simple programming problem at the end - simple, but amenable to discussing optimization and edge cases. I let the candidate choose the language (or just use pseudo code) and don't care a

Buying the book somewhere else and uploading to the Kindle is far from being easy for an average reader.
