A while ago, I heard about someone solving Sudoku with SQL. That sounded like a challenge to me. I came up with something that works pretty nicely. I can’t say for sure that it is guaranteed to solve every puzzle, but I haven’t seen it stumped yet. I’ve since updated the file so that when it gets stuck, it plays “what if”. It uses savepoints and rollbacks which work quite well.
