Problem

Write a SQL query using window functions to find the second-highest sales volume day for each warehouse at Zebra Technologies.

Use the warehouses and sales tables. Treat the second-highest volume as the second distinct daily total, and include tied days at that level.

Output

  1. One row per qualifying warehouse and date, with warehouse_id, warehouse_name, sale_date, and sales_volume.
  2. Include only warehouses with a second-highest day, ordered by warehouse_id and sale_date.
