Rank Customers by Premium by Region

EasySQL · PostgreSQL

Problem

The Hartford wants to compare customer premium contribution across its regional markets. Write a PostgreSQL query that aggregates posted policy premiums by customer and ranks customers within each region.

Requirements

  1. Join customers to policy transactions and include only transactions with a posted status.
  2. Treat NULL premium amounts as zero and exclude customers whose region is unknown.
  3. Calculate each customer's total premium and use RANK() partitioned by region, with highest totals ranked first. Preserve ties and sort the final output by region, rank, and customer ID.
