Level: Easy, Amazon
Question:
Table: Prices
+---------------+---------+
| Column Name | Type |
+---------------+---------+
| product_id | int |
| start_date | date |
| end_date | date |
| price | int |
+---------------+---------+
(product_id, start_date, end_date) is the primary key for this table.
Each row of this table indicates the price of the product_id
in the period from start_date to end_date.
For each product_id there will be no two overlapping periods.
That means there will be no two intersecting periods for the same product_id.
Table: UnitsSold
+---------------+---------+
| Column Name | Type |
+---------------+---------+
| product_id | int |
| purchase_date | date |
| units | int |
+---------------+---------+
There is no primary key for this table, it may contain duplicates.
Each row of this table indicates the date, units, and product_id of each product sold.
Write an SQL query to find the average selling price for each product. average_price
should be rounded to 2 decimal places.
Return the result table in any order.
The query result format is in the following example.
Example 1:
Input:
Prices table:
+------------+------------+------------+--------+
| product_id | start_date | end_date | price |
+------------+------------+------------+--------+
| 1 | 2019-02-17 | 2019-02-28 | 5 |
| 1 | 2019-03-01 | 2019-03-22 | 20 |
| 2 | 2019-02-01 | 2019-02-20 | 15 |
| 2 | 2019-02-21 | 2019-03-31 | 30 |
+------------+------------+------------+--------+
UnitsSold table:
+------------+---------------+-------+
| product_id | purchase_date | units |
+------------+---------------+-------+
| 1 | 2019-02-25 | 100 |
| 1 | 2019-03-01 | 15 |
| 2 | 2019-02-10 | 200 |
| 2 | 2019-03-22 | 30 |
+------------+---------------+-------+
Output:
+------------+---------------+
| product_id | average_price |
+------------+---------------+
| 1 | 6.96 |
| 2 | 16.96 |
+------------+---------------+
Explanation:
Average selling price = Total Price of Product / Number of products sold.
Average selling price for product 1 = ((100 * 5) + (15 * 20)) / 115 = 6.96
Average selling price for product 2 = ((200 * 15) + (30 * 30)) / 230 = 16.96
My Solution:
First: calculate the price of product corresponding to their purchase date
Second: group by
to sum all price of product and take average based on the units of products sold
select t.product_id, round(sum(t.total)/sum(t.units),2) as 'average_price'
from (select p.product_id, start_date, end_date, price*units as 'total', units
from Prices p inner join UnitsSold u
where p.product_id=u.product_id and u.purchase_date>=p.start_date
and u.purchase_date<=p.end_date) t
group by t.product_id
