Merge Client Revenue with Lookup Defaults

EasySQL · PostgreSQL

Problem

You are given a client list and a historical revenue table. Write a PostgreSQL query that returns every client from the client list, attaches the most recent revenue found in the revenue history, and uses a lookup default when no revenue exists. If a client has no matching revenue row, show 0 as the revenue amount and Unknown as the revenue source.
