Q. What is a view?
Ans. 

A view is a virtual table in a database that provides a way to present data from one or more tables.

  • Views can simplify complex queries by encapsulating them.

  • They can provide a layer of security by restricting access to specific data.

  • Example: A view can show only the names and salaries of employees from a larger employee table.

  • Views can be updated, but not all views are updatable depending on their complexity.

Q. How to find the kth smallest element in a tree?
Ans.

Q. Why does a report on List emails show no data, even though the user who created the report has access to the standard object and there is metrics data available on individual sent records?

  • Check report filters: If filters are too restrictive, they may exclude all records.

  • Verify report type: Ensure the report type is appropriate for the data being queried.

  • Review sharing settings: The user may have access to the object but not to the specific records.

  • Examine date ranges: If the report is set to a date range with no da...

Nailed the interview, still rejected
Just had the BEST interview ever – super positive and encouraging! But got rejected. Interviewer said I was the most prepared, knew it was a full-time role (unlike others), and loved my answers. One of my questions was even called "the best ever asked!" He showed me around, said I was exactly what they wanted, and would get back by Friday. I was so hyped! Then today, I got the rejection email. No reason given, just "went with someone else." Feels bad when your best isn't enough. Anyone else been there? How'd you cope?
