Your question is Basic SQL and String Reverse. Start with the requirements and the one table 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

Costar property search data includes short text values that require validation during ingestion and transformation testing. Write a PostgreSQL query that reverses each value in the string_tests table and verifies the result against the stored expected value.

Requirements

  1. Return each row's identifier, original text, reversed text, expected reversed text, and a Boolean validation result.
  2. Treat two NULL values as a valid match, preserve empty strings, and order the output by string_id.
