Querydrill

Level 4: Advanced Exercise 45 of 60 Pro

Change from the previous order

An SQL exercise from Querydrill. Solve it with a SQL editor in your browser, checked on the rows it returns and again on changed data, and it is checked the moment you submit.

The task

For every paid order, return the id and the difference between its amount and the amount of the previous paid order, ordered by order date then id. The first order shows NULL.

What this exercise teaches

LAG and LEAD look backwards and forwards without a self join.

A hint if you get stuck

LAG(amount) OVER (ORDER BY ...) reads the previous row.
