EasySQL · PostgreSQL

Problem

Categorize each record using its priority_score: scores of 8 or higher are Critical, scores from 5 through 7 are High, scores from 1 through 4 are Standard, and all other values, including NULL, are Unclassified.

Output

  1. Return one row per record with record_id, record_name, and priority_category.
  2. Order results by record_id ascending.
