๐ŸŽฏ SQL Interview Pattern: Running Total (Cumulative Sum)

Master this one pattern, and you'll be able to solve questions like:

๐Ÿ“ˆ Running Total of Sales
๐Ÿ’ฐ Cumulative Revenue
๐Ÿ›’ Customer Lifetime Spend
๐Ÿ“ฆ Running Inventory Balance
๐Ÿ‘ฅ Cumulative User Sign-ups
๐Ÿ’ณ Account Balance After Each Transaction
๐Ÿ“Š Cumulative Monthly Profit

๐Ÿง  How to Identify This Pattern

If the question contains words like:

โ€ข Running Total
โ€ข Cumulative
โ€ข Till Date
โ€ข So Far
โ€ข Progressive Sum
โ€ข Rolling Balance

๐Ÿ‘‰ Think: Window Function (SUM() OVER())

โœ… Approach

1๏ธโƒฃ Identify the value to accumulate.
2๏ธโƒฃ Find the correct ordering column (usually Date or ID).
3๏ธโƒฃ Use:

SUM(column_name) OVER (
ORDER BY column_name
)

๐Ÿ’ก Bonus Tip:

Need a separate running total for each customer, product, or department?

โžก๏ธ Add PARTITION BY before ORDER BY.

๐—œ๐—ป๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐˜ƒ๐—ถ๐—ฒ๐˜„๐—ฒ๐—ฟ: You have 2 minutes to solve this SQL query.

Find the second highest salary in each department from the employees table, excluding any department with fewer than 2 employees.

๐— ๐—ฒ: Challenge accepted!

SELECT 
department,
MAX(salary) AS second_highest_salary
FROM (
SELECT
department,
salary,
ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY department ORDER BY salary DESC) as rn
FROM employees
) ranked
WHERE rn = 2
GROUP BY department;


I used a subquery with ROW_NUMBER() window function partitioned by department to rank salaries in descending order within each department. The outer query then filters for rank 2 (second highest) and groups to get distinct departments. This demonstrates mastery of window functions, which are essential for advanced analytics and ranking problems.
