I doubt that you were rejected (even if you were, which it seems like you don't know) based on needing to be prompted about select, and getting syntax wrong, especially for a non-dev position and in a phone screen. If I were doing a phone screen, I'd honestly be probing more for whether you know how code works in general, and if you knew what select was (i.e. when I prompted you, your response wasn't "uh...what's select?")

Also, did you not sign an agreement with Google that you wouldn't share interview questions before you started interviewing? I think sharing questions is generally considered somewhat uncool.

I didn't sign any agreements of any sort, and the question was about as generic as "FizzBuzz" that I wasn't giving away anything. If it's a problem, I can make it right by editing the article.

I guess that's fair enough. I'm just personally squeamish about sharing most interview details this publicly, but perhaps you're right.
