SQL Join and Customer Totals | Dataford Interview Questions

Univar Solutions needs a customer-level sales summary for reporting across its chemical distribution business. Write a PostgreSQL query that joins customer records with qualifying sales transactions.

Requirements

Return every customer from customers, including customers with no completed sales.
Calculate each customer's total completed sales amount, treating missing or NULL amounts as zero.
Include the number of completed sales transactions and order the results by total sales descending, then customer name ascending.

Place the sales-status condition in the join logic so customers without qualifying sales remain in the output.
