1159. Market Analysis II
Table: Users
+----------------+---------+
| Column Name | Type |
+----------------+---------+
| user_id | int |
| join_date | date |
| favorite_brand | varchar |
+----------------+---------+
user_id is the primary key of this table.
This table has the info of the users of an online shopping website where users can sell and buy items.
Table: Orders
+---------------+---------+
| Column Name | Type |
+---------------+---------+
| order_id | int |
| order_date | date |
| item_id | int |
| buyer_id | int |
| seller_id | int |
+---------------+---------+
order_id is the primary key of this table.
item_id is a foreign key to the Items table.
buyer_id and seller_id are foreign keys to the Users table.
Table: Items
+---------------+---------+
| Column Name | Type |
+---------------+---------+
| item_id | int |
| item_brand | varchar |
+---------------+---------+
item_id is the primary key of this table.
Write an SQL query to find for each user, whether the brand of the second item (by date) they sold is their favorite brand.
If a user sold less than two items, report the answer for that user as no.
It is guaranteed that no seller sold more than one item on a day.
The query result format is in the following example:
Users table:
+---------+------------+----------------+
| user_id | join_date | favorite_brand |
+---------+------------+----------------+
| 1 | 2019-01-01 | Lenovo |
| 2 | 2019-02-09 | Samsung |
| 3 | 2019-01-19 | LG |
| 4 | 2019-05-21 | HP |
+---------+------------+----------------+
Orders table:
+----------+------------+---------+----------+-----------+
| order_id | order_date | item_id | buyer_id | seller_id |
+----------+------------+---------+----------+-----------+
| 1 | 2019-08-01 | 4 | 1 | 2 |
| 2 | 2019-08-02 | 2 | 1 | 3 |
| 3 | 2019-08-03 | 3 | 2 | 3 |
| 4 | 2019-08-04 | 1 | 4 | 2 |
| 5 | 2019-08-04 | 1 | 3 | 4 |
| 6 | 2019-08-05 | 2 | 2 | 4 |
+----------+------------+---------+----------+-----------+
Items table:
+---------+------------+
| item_id | item_brand |
+---------+------------+
| 1 | Samsung |
| 2 | Lenovo |
| 3 | LG |
| 4 | HP |
+---------+------------+
Result table:
+-----------+--------------------+
| seller_id | 2nd_item_fav_brand |
+-----------+--------------------+
| 1 | no |
| 2 | yes |
| 3 | yes |
| 4 | no |
+-----------+--------------------+
The answer for the user with id 1 is no because they sold nothing.
The answer for the users with id 2 and 3 is yes because the brands of their second sold items are their favorite brands.
The answer for the user with id 4 is no because the brand of their second sold item is not their favorite brand.
Algorithm
Code
SQL
select user_id as seller_id,
if(isnull(item_brand), "no", "yes") as 2nd_item_fav_brand
from Users
left join
(select seller_id, item_brand
from Orders
inner join Items
on Orders.item_id = Items.item_id
where (seller_id, order_date) in
(select seller_id, min(order_date) as order_date
from Orders
where (seller_id, order_date) not in
(select seller_id, min(order_date)
from Orders
group by seller_id)
group by seller_id
)
) as t
on Users.user_id = t.seller_id and favorite_brand = item_brand
