Article Path

Review Status

completed

Checks Performed

  • Checked article against article-brief.md and article-metadata.md.
  • Checked frontmatter completeness: layout, title, description, date, avatar, tags, and head.
  • Checked title, description, Open Graph meta, and Twitter meta consistency.
  • Checked required VitePress imports and component usage: ArticleTitle and ScrollToTopBtn.
  • Checked Daily Questions Challenge number, avatar, and pinned index link.
  • Checked Database category placement in docs/tech/posts/2026-05-26-daily-questions-challenge-2026.md.
  • Checked Markdown heading structure, table formatting, code block formatting, and reference section.
  • Checked source attribution against official PostgreSQL, MySQL, and SQLite documentation.
  • Checked for residual Alice/Bob transfer wording after the example rewrite.

Fixes Applied

  • Added an affected_rows = 1 note to the course-seat decrement SQL example so the transaction example does not imply that UPDATE ... WHERE seats_remaining > 0 automatically fails when no row is updated.
  • Updated the follow-up sentence to say that a zero-row seat decrement should trigger ROLLBACK.

Issues Requiring User Decision

None.

Notes

  • The article intentionally uses a course registration example instead of the transfer example mentioned in the original brief, following the later editorial direction.
  • pinned: true is not set, which is correct for an ordinary Daily Questions Challenge entry.
  • Build verification was not run in this review step because blog-article-review requires confirmation before running npm run docs:build.
