A few I remember distinctly are:

What is chaining, how do you prevent it?
How do you manage table locking?
How do you take hot /cold backups?
What is a good archival plan?
How would you tune a certain SP? SP given.
What was your backup /disaster recovery plan like?

If your CV says that you are already experienced, you may be asked about your past experience as well ... Typical questions include - tell about a problem you faced and how you solved it, general problem handling approach, any recommendation of yours that brought about a big positive impact to the environment ...

The interview questions will be largely dependent on the type of role, which part of the world you live, the interview's knowledge/experience and your experience.
