Your question is Anagram Check With SQL. Start with the requirements and the two tables on the right.

Run and submit as often as you like. When you're ready, talk me through your approach or go straight to the code.

You need to log in / sign up to run or submit.

Problem

How would you write a query to check whether two given strings are anagrams of each other?

Assume comparisons are case-insensitive and ignore spaces and non-alphanumeric characters. Return false when either input is NULL.

Output

  1. One row per string pair, with pair_id, left_string, right_string, and is_anagram
  2. Include every pair, including pairs with NULL inputs
  3. Order by pair_id ascending
