SQL Basics and Cloud Fundamentals

MediumSQL · PostgreSQL

Problem

Tell me about your SQL basics, Python basics, and cloud infrastructure experience.

For the SQL portion, write a PostgreSQL query that summarizes completed order amounts for every customer. Include customers without completed orders and treat missing amounts as zero.

Output

  1. One row per customer with customer_name and completed_order_total
  2. Include all customers, including those with no completed orders
  3. Sort by completed_order_total descending, then customer_name ascending
