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

Problem

Write a query to identify the top three users by session duration in this schema.

Use the users and sessions tables. Consider only completed sessions, where ended_at is not NULL. Session duration should be measured in seconds.

Output

One row per user, with columns user_id, username, and total_session_duration_seconds.
Include only the three users with the greatest total completed session duration.
Order by total duration descending, using user_id ascending to break ties.
