Announcing the Winners of the 2018 Oracle Dev Gym Championship for Database Design
On Thursday 14 February, 37 plucky contestants took part in the annual Database Design Championships over on Oracle Dev Gym.
This competition tested the players knowledge of Oracle Database 18c in a series of five quizzes. These covered temporary tables, external tables, partitioning, identity columns, and JSON in the database.

The results are now in, so it's time to announce the winners!
- Iudith Mentzel of Israel (86.5% correct)
- Sartograph of Germany (82.7% correct)
- Chad Lee of United States (80.8% correct)
These three were head-and-shoulders above the rest, being the only players to clear eighty percent right. And huge kudos to to Iudith for taking the top spot for the second year in a row!
And, once again, a massive thanks to Elic, our quiz-reviewer supreme. His keen eye ensured that all the choices were accurate.
