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.

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

I did not even know of the ctrl+k menu before I created this thread and it wanted me to paste the project ID

Going to add a task to put that behind a confirm dialog if it's not already

Im not on a mac and pressing ctrl + k gives no such option

That would be cmd+K on a Mac. If you see this, you have accidentally triggered it
