For this SQL exercise, write a query that summarizes the libraries selected for quick visualization from the provided usage records. Return every library, including libraries with no qualifying usage.

Output

  1. One row per visualization library
  2. Columns: library_name, quick_use_count, and avg_setup_minutes
  3. Include only usage records marked for quick visualization in the metrics
  4. Sort by quick_use_count descending, average setup time ascending with nulls last, then library_name ascending
