Problem
Return user_id and order_date for user-date pairs with at least two orders.
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, user_id INTEGER, order_date TEXT)
Examples
Example 1
Inputuser 1 has two orders on Jan 1
Outputuser 1, Jan 1
The grouping grain is user plus date.
Constraints
- Return only the requested columns.
- Use deterministic ORDER BY when multiple rows are returned.
- Assume SQLite-compatible SQL unless the prompt states otherwise.
