A system that can support 1,000 concurrent users is needed.
About this solution: The candidate's solution is incomplete. The candidate does not mention how to design the system to support a large number of concurrent users. The candidate only mentions horizontal scaling, which is one approach to scaling. The candidate does not mention other approaches, such as vertical scaling, which could also be used to support a large number of concurrent users.
To find the total number of orders for each customer, you can use a SQL query as follows:
SELECT customer_id, COUNT(order_id) AS total_orders FROM customer_orders
GROUP BY customer_id;
About this solution: The candidate's solution is correct and uses an optimal approach.
The goal is to find the total number of transactions for each user using data from two tables, "users" and "transactions". The "users" table has columns for id and name , while the "transactions" table has columns for id, user_id, and amount. The expected output is a table with columns for id, name, and total_transactions.
About this solution: The candidate's solution is correct and uses a LEFT JOIN to ensure that all users are included in the result, even if they have no transactions.
This technical problem deals with writing a SQL query to find the number of users who have both a first and last name. The input is a table of user data, and the output is the number of users who have both a first and last name.
About this solution: The solution above is correct and demonstrates a level of completeness. It solves the problem and takes the optimal approach by only counting the number of users who have both a first and last name.
Write a SQL query that returns the 5 most recent articles from a table of articles, sorted by published date.
About this solution: The candidate's solution is correct and demonstrates a good understanding of SQL. The solution is optimal because it uses the ORDER BY and LIMIT clauses to sort the articles by published date in descending order and then limit the results to the 5 most recent articles.
This technical problem deals with returning the value of an XPath expression from an XML document using a SQL query.
About this solution: The candidate's solution is complete and solves the problem. The candidate has used the XMLTABLE function to parse the XML document and return the value of the XPath expression.
