Your question is Top 50 Rows Query. Start with the requirements and the one table on the right.

Run and submit as often as you like. When you're ready, talk me through your approach or go straight to the code.

You need to log in / sign up to run or submit.

Problem

Cvent's Event Management platform needs a quick operational view of the most recent event registrations. Write a PostgreSQL query that returns the top 50 registrations, where top means the newest registration timestamp.

Requirements

  1. Return registration ID, attendee name, event name, registration status, and registration timestamp.
  2. Sort registrations from newest to oldest, using registration ID as a deterministic tie-breaker, and return no more than 50 rows.
