Some developers feel 'DB.Field' != 'Field' is just as effective as 'TR.Field' != $NULL$ AND 'TR.Field' != 'DB.Field' some developers argue that because TR can be null both when nothing is changing, and when the field is changing from something, to null, that TR doesn't have any merit, and as such should never be used. With inexperienced, and some experienced developers (myself included at times) it can be hard to ensure that your qual is covering all of the bases when using TR values.

Even if the interviewee did not know the answer - exactly - it would get them talking about push, set,notifications and messaging.
