SQL Segmentation by Outcome

MediumSQL · PostgreSQL

Problem

How would you use SQL to segment orders by region, retailer, and delivery outcome?

Use the provided orders, regions, and retailers data. Classify each order's delivery outcome from its status and timing, while retaining orders with missing region or retailer references.

Output

  1. One row per region, retailer, and delivery outcome
  2. Columns: region_name, retailer_name, delivery_outcome, order_count, total_order_value, and avg_delivery_minutes
  3. Include all orders, label missing dimension values as Unknown, and sort by region, retailer, and outcome
