Database Corruption Challenges

Database Corruption Challenge #9

Welcome to the ninth competition of ten in the Database Corruption Challenge. This week I have created a database and then corrupted one or more parts of that database, and your goal is to fix all of the corruption without losing any data. There is a total of 4 points available this week:

  • One point for being the first person to provide a correct solution with no data loss. Won by Eduardo Rezende.
  • One point to all who get a correct solution with no data loss.
  • One point extra if you get the correct answer before any hints are given.
  • One point extra if your solution is correct the first time you submit it to me. (check your work)

For information on scores take a look at the current scores page.
