An objective person can compartmentalize their feelings, and has to in order to be objective. They cannot let their feelings get in the way of their thought processes. They rely on data and facts, not emotion when considering things. Depending on what the "question" is, they may consider the emotions of themselves and others as "factors" but do not allow them to control their thinking.

If a person is getting all emotional, if they're making fast defensive statements, they're not being objective. They may be "rational" but that is not the same thing as objective.

One of the Merriam Webster definitions of objective is: "expressing or dealing with facts or conditions as perceived without distortion by personal feelings, prejudices, or interpretations"

My Answer: No. I find that objective people, are usually,very difficult to have a sensible discussion with.
Most things in life are subjective and anybody who isn't aware of this, is probably, very young, or very limited in their perception and experience, of life.

Data independence means that "the application is independent of the storage structure and access strategy of data". In other words, The ability to modify the schema definition in one level should not affect the schema definition in the next higher level.

Two types of Data Independence:

Ø Physical Data Independence: Modification in physical level should not affect the logical level.

Ø Logical Data Independence: Modification in logical level should affect the view level.

NOTE: Logical Data Independence is more difficult to achieve

(Remember, you're talking to a prospective employer, not your best friend. Don't dredge up a catastrophe that resulted in a personal or corporate failure. Be ready for this question by thinking of a story that has a happy ending - happy for you and your company. Never digress into personal or family difficulties, and don't talk about problems you've had with supervisors or peers. You might discuss a difficult situation with a subordinate, provided that the issues were resolved inventively and to everyone's satisfaction.)

(Use this question as a chance to show that you are a team player: "The only people I have trouble with are those who aren't team players, who just don't perform, who complain constantly, and who fail to respond to any efforts to motivate them." The interviewer is expecting a response focused on personality and personal dislikes. Surprise her by delivering an answer that reflects company values.)
