SQL Joins and Aggregates | Dataford Interview Questions

AT&T Wireless needs a monthly usage report for active subscribers. Write a PostgreSQL query that reports each active subscriber's May 2025 mobile data usage, including subscribers with no usage events.

Requirements

Join subscribers to plans and retain only rows where status = 'active'.
Aggregate data_mb and usage-event count from usage_records for May 2025 only.
Use a LEFT JOIN and COALESCE so active subscribers without usage appear with zero totals.
Sort by total data usage descending, then subscriber ID ascending.
