Running Deposit Totals by User | Dataford Interview Questions

FinFlow wants to monitor recent deposit activity by user. Write a SQL query to calculate each user's cumulative sum of deposits over the last 30 days.

Requirements

Return one row per user and deposit date for deposits made in the last 30 days.
Include only transactions where transaction_type = 'deposit'.
Sum multiple deposits on the same day into a single daily_deposit_amount.
Calculate a running total per user ordered by deposit date.
Return user_id, user_name, deposit_date, daily_deposit_amount, and cumulative_deposit_amount.
Sort the final output by user_id and deposit_date.

Assume the query is run with a reference date of 2024-03-31, so the last 30 days means transaction_date >= DATE '2024-03-02'.
