Bucket Orders by Amount
EasySQL15 min10 XP
Problem
Return order_id and size_bucket: small for amount < 50, medium for amount < 100, otherwise large.
Why This Matters
SQL interviews usually test whether you can turn a business question into the right rows, grouping level, join type, and edge-case behavior.
Schema
orders(order_id INTEGER, amount INTEGER)
Examples
Example 1
Inputamounts 30, 75, 120
Outputsmall, medium, large
CASE conditions are evaluated from top to bottom.
Constraints
- Return only the requested columns.
- Use deterministic ORDER BY when multiple rows are returned.
- Assume SQLite-compatible SQL unless the prompt states otherwise.
