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.
