Join to Find Inactive Users | Dataford Interview Questions

Guidewire wants to identify active users of InsuranceSuite who have not interacted with the PolicyCenter Dashboard in more than 30 days. The reference date is 2025-03-01 00:00:00 UTC.

Write a PostgreSQL query that uses a LEFT JOIN and a common table expression to return these users.

Requirements

Consider only users whose account_status is active.
Find each user's most recent interaction with the PolicyCenter Dashboard.
Include users who have never interacted with that feature.
Return the user ID, user name, last interaction timestamp, and whole days inactive. Treat exactly 30 days of inactivity as not qualifying, and sort by user_id.
