Objective

Given a table sales_data containing product sales with the following columns:

Column Type Description
daily_sales INTEGER The number of units sold on that date
date DATE The date of the sale
product_name VARCHAR The name of the product sold

Write a SQL query to retrieve each record along with a new column cumulative_sales that represents the running total of sales for each product up to and including the current date. The results should be ordered first by product_name and then by date.

Additional information

  • Constraints:

    • The sales_data table can contain multiple products with sales data spanning multiple dates.
    • Dates for each product are unique and sorted chronologically.
  • Output Format:

    • The output should include the following columns: cumulative_sales, daily_sales, date, product_name.
