Top 5 Products by Revenue

EasySQL · PostgreSQL

Problem

Closer Consulting needs a revenue ranking for products sold through its analytics operations. Write a PostgreSQL query to return the five products with the highest revenue from completed sales.

Requirements

  1. Consider only sales where status = 'completed' and calculate revenue as quantity * unit_price.
  2. Aggregate revenue by product, joining the sales results to the products table to display the product name.
  3. Return the top five products, ordered by total revenue descending. Use product_id as a secondary sort for deterministic results.
