At our company, instead of asking a lot of SQL questions that anyone with a good memory can answer, we created a SQL Developers test. The test is designed to have the candidate put together a solid schema with normalization and RI considerations, check constraints etc. And then be able to create some queries to produce results sets we're looking for. They create all this against a brief design specification we give them. They are allowed to do this at home, and take as much time as they need (within reason).
