Customers With Exactly One Order

EasySQL15 min10 XP

Problem

Return customer_id values with exactly one order.

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, customer_id INTEGER)

Examples

Example 1
Inputcustomers 2 and 3 have one order
Output2 and 3

HAVING COUNT(*) = 1 keeps groups with exactly one row.

Constraints

  • Return only the requested columns.
  • Use deterministic ORDER BY when multiple rows are returned.
  • Assume SQLite-compatible SQL unless the prompt states otherwise.
