Diagnose Missing Credit Metrics in Reports

MediumSQL · PostgreSQL

Problem

You are given a client report built from Moody's credit data that is returning NULL for specific credit metrics. Write a PostgreSQL query that identifies which report rows are missing metric values, shows the related entity and metric name, and flags whether the null came from the source metric table or from a failed match to the metric reference table.
