Rank Depots by Monthly Failures

MediumSQL · PostgreSQL

Problem

Write a SQL query to compare monthly part failure rates across depots and rank the depots by failure rate within each month.

Use the depots and monthly_part_stats tables. Include only records with a positive inspected-parts count and a non-null failure count.

Output

  1. One row per valid depot-month record
  2. Columns: month_start, depot_name, failure_rate, and depot_rank
  3. failure_rate is the percentage of inspected parts that failed, rounded to two decimals
  4. Sort by month, rank ascending, then depot name ascending; tied rates share the same rank
