Hi Guys, Hope you all are doing well. I have come up with my new post on ETL / Data Warehouse testing questions which I came across during my interview with various companies. I believe that this blog will be helpful to experience candidate in interview. These interview questions are mostly straight forward. I will come up with more tricky questions later. Please post your comments and suggestions ,which will make learning better for all. I am not posting the answer here, if required I will post it later. Please let me know if you like the post, so you can see more post on ETL..
Keep Sharing,Keep Learning guys :)
