Web Only Users

EasySQL15 min10 XP

Problem

Return user_id values that appear in web_events but not app_events.

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

web_events(user_id INTEGER); app_events(user_id INTEGER)

Examples

Example 1
Inputusers 1 and 3 are web-only
Output1, 3

EXCEPT removes users that appear in app_events.

Constraints

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