"In one of my previous roles, I was faced with a situation in which database queries were not resulting in incorrect information being returned. This was frustrating for the users and required more time than necessary to obtain the information they were looking for. I analyzed the issue and discovered the database queries being used by the employees were vague and inaccurate. I met with each user group to discover the type of information they needed. I then created sets of standard queries they could use to obtain the information they were looking for. I also instructed them on how to modify the queries if they did not exactly meet their needs. This increased the accuracy of the queries and resulted in the users obtaining the exact information needed for their work."
