SQL Data Manipulation

MediumSQL · PostgreSQL

Problem

Describe how you would solve a regular SQL data manipulation problem involving subqueries with calculations, conditions, and concatenation.

Use the provided customer and booking data. Return customers with at least two completed bookings and more than 500 in completed booking value. Concatenate the customer's first and last names, handling a missing last name.

Output

  1. One row per qualifying customer with customer_name, city, completed_bookings, and total_completed_value
  2. Exclude customers who do not meet either condition
  3. Order by total_completed_value descending, then customer_name ascending
