Identify Orders with Financial Integrity Issues

MediumSQL · PostgreSQL

Problem

How do you ensure data integrity in your analysis at Faire?

Use the provided Faire order, order-line, and payment data to identify orders with inconsistent or missing financial records. Return only orders requiring investigation.

Output

  1. One row per problematic order.
  2. Include order_id, order_total, line_total, completed_payment_total, and integrity_status.
  3. Treat missing order lines or completed payments as integrity issues, and sort by order_id ascending.

Output details

  • Calculate line_total as the sum of quantity * unit_price for each order.
  • Calculate completed_payment_total as the sum of paid_amount for payments whose payment_status is completed.
  • Mark every returned row with integrity_status equal to INTEGRITY_ISSUE.
  • Treat differing values, including one NULL and one non-NULL, as inconsistent; treat two NULL values as equal.
