Rank Top SKUs and Forecast Next Quarter

HardSQL · PostgreSQL

Problem

You are given raw player transaction data from an Activision commerce feed. Build a summary view that identifies the top-performing SKUs by revenue and projects each SKU’s next-quarter performance using recent quarterly trends.

Your result should show the top SKUs ranked by current-quarter revenue, along with their quarter-over-quarter growth rate and a simple next-quarter revenue projection based on the latest two completed quarters. Use PostgreSQL syntax only.
