Employee and Customer Join

Employee and Customer Join

MediumSQL · PostgreSQL

Problem

ISS STOXX uses employee numbers to identify account ownership in its customer operations data. Write a PostgreSQL query that joins the employee and customer tables to show active customer assignments while retaining employees who have no active customer.

Requirements

  1. Use a LEFT JOIN on employee.employee_no = customer.employee_no so every employee remains in the result.
  2. Return only customers whose status is Active, without removing employees who have no active customer.
  3. Include employee details, customer details, and an assignment_status column showing Active customer or No active customer.
  4. Order the results by employee number and then customer ID, placing missing customer IDs last.
