Explain how you create jobs or flow of project?
Meta Data Import - Stages with Transformation logics - Load into Staging Tables

Join Stage vs Lookup vs Merge Stage
Differences
Mentioned about Input and Output, Reject Links
Mentioned about Volumes of Data etc.,

Summation scenario based question - How you find sum of salary for a specific employee (Explain stages and flow of job)?
Import Meta data - Database Connector - Filter Stage - Aggregator stage (Sum) - To list Result into a file Ex. Dataset

Explain Remove duplicates stage ? Can you do sort in this stage?
Removes the Duplicate values based on the First retained or second retain
Remove duplicates does have only internal sort, As a Recommendation It is better if we send Remove duplicate stage sorted data.

6. SQL Questions - Joins - Types, Difference between Join and Union
Join Types
Full Outer
Left Outer
Right Outer
Inner Join

Union vs Full outer: Union is similar to the Funnel stage in DS. Union need to be done on tables which has similar meta data where as Full outer need a matching Column between 2 or more tables

7. Unix Questions - How you run the Job, How you list all jobs in project
dsjob -run projectname jobname
dsjob -ljobs projectname

8. Explain Environmental Variables?
Can be created from DS Administrator, from User defined variables. Which can be used across all the projects in Datastage

9. SQL Scenario - If you have 3 Identical record in a Table, Ex: 1, Ram, Xyz; 1, Ram, Xyz; 1, Ram, Xyz; Delete only 2 of the records and keep only 1 using the Delete query. How you will you do this?
