Just before the Easter holidays I posted this challenge for a MySQL schema. For lack of submissions to far, I’ll leave it open for a little bit longer.
Perhaps you reckon the challenge sucks 😉 In that case please comment and tell why! That’d be good feedback. Otherwise, do take a stab at it. If you did and got stuck, comment about this too. Then others can help and move it forward.
My guess is…your assignment might be fun if you have loads of time to burn (or if you are in dire need of a pen of course ;-).
It’s probably a small feat if you have a spare hour or two, but to write it all down eloquently…plus anyone that regards him or herself as a professional will want to do their best in a challenge setting, as it is quite likely the solutions will be published and discussed on the internet.
Just my 2c.
If you are looking for a lot of response, the “pop quiz” format seems to enjoy more love from the crowd lately.
I didn’t answer it because a solution has been posted for years on Peter Brawley and Arthur Fuller’s list of common queries at artfulsoftware.com.
Ahwell, there ya go. Thanks for the link!
