There's suddenly two new random columns in my database??
I went in and checked my railway dashboard and to my surprise there's two new completely random database tables?
How on earth did this happen? I've never even made tables with these names or data even in my local environment, let alone in production. What has happened here??
I see that they emails are all @example.com, so I'm assuming this might be some Railway sample of sorts, but if that's the case, why would this be added to my database that's been live for a couple of weeks now?

That is extremely strange. Your app doesn’t give anybody the ability to make tables and populate data? Did you accidentally leak your database credentials somewhere?
No, I am a solo developer and I have not leaked it anywhere. I double checked if I've accidentally commited my credentials, I have not.
These seem to be train themed as well, so is this definitely not some bug that has happened within Railway?
Okay, thank you. I can tag the team in. They will get to you when they get a chance, as it is late and the weekend.
Alright, sounds good
Thread has been flagged to Railway team by @Vin.
i have actually seen users report this exact same data set on both mongodb and redis
but can you double check this is actually in the database and not just some example data that the web UI is showing you? use something like mysql workbench or pgadmin
That looks the the cmd+k "generate dummy data" command result
mystery solved
I've never ran this command though
I did not even know of the ctrl+k menu before I created this thread and it wanted me to paste the project ID
and I see in my logs it has attempted to create this table multiple times
so I think theres definitely something fishy going on in your service.
Also @Brody should I not be the one marking my own issues as solved
I can't unmark it for some reason
Interesting... 🤔 I'll Mark it as a task for next week!
This has now happened again.
Can someone explain to me what is causing this exactly?
