Top Categories by Average Price
Beginner Mode
Objective
Write an SQL query to find the top 3 product categories with the highest average price. For each of these categories, return the number of active products, the average price rounded to two decimal places, and the count of products with low stock (less than 10 units).
Additional information
- Only consider active products (
is_active = true). - If multiple categories have the same average price, order them by the number of active products in descending order.
- Return the results ordered by average price in descending order first, then by product count in descending order.
- The results should be limited to the top 3 categories.
- The
productstable contains information about the products. - The
inventorytable contains information about the stock levels of the products.
Constraints:
- You can assume that
productsandinventorytables are non-empty. - Each product in the
productstable has a corresponding entry in theinventorytable.
Clarifications:
avg_priceshould be the average price of the active products in each category.product_countshould be the count of active products in each category.low_stock_itemsshould be the count of active products with a stock level less than 10 in each category.
