Patient Gender Percentage Query | Dataford Interview Questions

Requirements

Include every patient in the denominator, including patients without a demographics row or with a NULL gender.
Count each patient at most once, even if the demographics table contains duplicate records.
Return one row with the percentage in percent form, rounded to the nearest hundredth, such as 40.00 for 40 percent.
Avoid division-by-zero errors if the patient table is empty.
