Description

Table: UserActivity

+---------------+---------+
| Column Name   | Type    |
+---------------+---------+
| username      | varchar |
| activity      | varchar |
| startDate     | Date    |

+---------------+---------+
This table may contain duplicates rows.
This table contains information about the activity performed by each user in a period of time.
A person with username performed an activity from startDate to endDate.

 

Write a solution to show the second most recent activity of each user.

If the user only has one activity, return that one. A user cannot perform more than one activity at the same time.

Return the result table in any order.

The result format is in the following example.

 

Example 1:

Input: 
UserActivity table:
+------------+--------------+-------------+-------------+
