Interview Prompt
You're building a data-lineage tool that needs to know which tables each query reads. Given a SQL query string `sql`, return the table names that follow its FROM and JOIN keywords.
Summary
Somewhere in that query, tables are hiding.
How This Interview Works
- Read the vague prompt (just like a real interview)
- Ask clarifying questions to the AI interviewer
- Write and run your Python against test cases
- Answer the interviewer's follow-up questions, then get a hire or no-hire decision
