Problem

The TMC analytics platform needs a daily view of user login activity. Write a PostgreSQL query that calculates daily valid logins and a three-day rolling average for 2025-05-01 through 2025-05-07.

Requirements

  1. Count login events for registered users only. Exclude events with a missing timestamp, an unknown user, or a timestamp outside the requested date range.
  2. Include every calendar date in the requested range, including dates with zero valid logins.
  3. Calculate the rolling average over the current date and the preceding two calendar dates. Round the result to two decimal places.
  4. Return results in ascending date order with columns login_date, daily_logins, and three_day_rolling_avg.
