Consecutive Login Days SQL

HardSQL · PostgreSQL

Problem

How would you write a SQL solution for consecutive login days?

Write a PostgreSQL query that finds each user's longest streak of consecutive calendar days with at least one login. Multiple logins on the same day count once, and users without a valid login are excluded.

Output

  1. One row per user with at least one valid login
  2. Columns: user_id, user_name, streak_start_date, streak_end_date, and consecutive_days
  3. Return the longest streak per user, breaking ties by the latest streak_end_date
  4. Order by user_id ascending
