TRY AN EXAMPLE QUESTION

Try the question yourself before reading the answer. It is a PostgreSQL example drawn from checking a data extract before sharing an analysis, part of a Data Architect's week.
Data Architect: checking a data extract before sharing an analysisWorkplace example
A PostgreSQL table of events holds 40 million rows. Nearly every analyst query filters on one customer_id and then a created_at range for that customer. The queries are slow and there is no index beyond the primary key.
A PRACTICAL GUIDE
Using the Data Architect assessment.
What does the full assessment tell you?
This template combines multiple-choice questions in SQL, PostgreSQL, Logical Reasoning; workplace situations in Strategic Thinking. It brings together evidence about data accuracy, analysis and clear conclusions, giving you areas to explore when checking a data extract before sharing an analysis.
How can you use the results?
Review each result against your vacancy’s responsibilities. Use a short task based on checking a data extract before sharing an analysis to explore practical application. Ask them to explain their checks, their method and what the figures do and do not establish.
Which results matter for your vacancy?
- SQLAsk how they would filter records, join related tables and verify a query result.
- PostgreSQLExplore queries, relationships and the checks needed to validate a database result.
- Strategic ThinkingAsk how they would connect a proposed action to longer-term goals.
- Logical ReasoningAsk them to explain the relationships and assumptions behind a conclusion.
