SQL Top 10 Users

EasySQL · PostgreSQL

Problem

bet365 wants to identify its highest-value users based on settled stake transactions. Write a PostgreSQL query that ranks users by the total value of their qualifying transactions.

Requirements

  1. Include only transactions with status = 'settled' and transaction_type = 'stake'.
  2. Calculate each user's total stake amount using SUM.
  3. Join the totals to the users table so the output includes the user's name.
  4. Return the top 10 users, ordered by total amount descending, with user_id as a deterministic tie-breaker.
