Filter Key Value Settings

EasySQL15 min10 XP

Problem

Return user_id values where setting_key is "theme" and setting_value is "dark".

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

settings(user_id INTEGER, setting_key TEXT, setting_value TEXT)

Examples

Example 1
Inputonly user 1 has theme dark
Outputuser 1

Both key and value must match.

Constraints

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