Your question is SQL Join With Aggregated Counts. Start with the requirements and the two tables on the right.

Run and submit as often as you like. When you're ready, talk me through your approach or go straight to the code.

You need to log in / sign up to run or submit.

Problem

The Fractal AI platform tracks model inference runs across multiple analytical categories. Write a PostgreSQL query that reports how many completed inference runs belong to each matching model category.

Requirements

  1. Join inference_runs to model_categories using category_id and return only rows with a matching category.
  2. Count completed runs for each category, excluding runs with other statuses.
  3. Return categories ordered by completed run count descending, then category name ascending for ties.
