Identify Top Partner Error Modes

MediumSQL · PostgreSQL

Problem

You are given partner error logs and a lookup of error codes. Write a PostgreSQL query that identifies the top failure modes by partner, showing each partner’s error category, the number of occurrences, and the share of that partner’s total errors. Focus on the most frequent failure modes and exclude partners with no logged errors.
