WHERE Before GROUP BY

EasySQL15 min10 XP

Problem

For paid orders only, return customer_id and paid_revenue.

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, status TEXT, amount INTEGER)

Examples

Example 1
Inputcancelled order should not count
Outputcustomer 1 paid revenue 40

WHERE removes cancelled rows before SUM is calculated.

Constraints

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