Description
Table: Activity
+--------------+---------+
| Column Name | Type |
+--------------+---------+
| player_id | int |
| device_id | int |
| event_date | date |
| games_played | int |
+--------------+---------+
(player_id, event_date) is the primary key of this table.
This table shows the activity of players of some game.
Each row is a record of a player who logged in and played a number of games (possibly 0) before logging out on some day using some device.
Write an SQL query that reports for each player and date, how many games played so far by the player. That is, the total number of games played by the player until that date. Check the example for clarity.
The query result format is in the following example:
Activity table:
+-----------+-----------+------------+--------------+
| player_id | device_id | event_date | games_played |
+-----------+-----------+------------+--------------+
| 1 | 2 | 2016-03-01 | 5 |
| 1 | 2 | 2016-05-02 | 6 |
| 1 | 3 | 2017-06-25 | 1 |
| 3 | 1 | 2016-03-02 | 0 |
| 3 | 4 | 2018-07-03 | 5 |
+-----------+-----------+------------+--------------+
Result table:
+-----------+------------+---------------------+
| player_id | event_date | games_played_so_far |
+-----------+------------+---------------------+
| 1 | 2016-03-01 | 5 |
| 1 | 2016-05-02 | 11 |
| 1 | 2017-06-25 | 12 |
| 3 | 2016-03-02 | 0 |
| 3 | 2018-07-03 | 5 |
+-----------+------------+---------------------+
For the player with id 1, 5 + 6 = 11 games played by 2016-05-02, and 5 + 6 + 1 = 12 games played by 2017-06-25.
For the player with id 3, 0 + 5 = 5 games played by 2018-07-03.
Note that for each player we only care about the days when the player logged in.
Solution
Join the Activity table with itself, and for each player_id, obtain the sum of games_played from the entries that are earlier than or equal to each event_date.
# Write your MySQL query statement below
select B.player_id, B.event_date, sum(A.games_played) as `games_played_so_far`
from Activity as A join Activity as B
on A.player_id = B.player_id and A.event_date <= B.event_date
group by B.player_id, B.event_date;
