Rolling Driver Metrics in SQL | Dataford Interview Questions

Geotab fleet analysts use vehicle trip data to monitor changes in driver travel patterns. Write a PostgreSQL query that calculates each driver's 7-day rolling average trip distance.

Requirements

Aggregate trip distance by driver and calendar date before applying the window function.
Build a complete daily date series for the available reporting period so days without trips count as zero distance.
Calculate a seven-calendar-day rolling average for each driver, including the current date and six preceding dates.
Return results only for dates on which the driver has at least one recorded trip.
Treat a NULL trip distance as zero, round the rolling average to two decimal places, and order by driver and date.
