The student's solution demonstrates a good understanding of SQL concepts and window functions, but there are several areas for improvement:

  1. Correctness:
  • For Market Analysis II: The solution correctly identifies the second item sold by each seller and checks if it matches their favorite brand. However, it doesn't handle cases where a seller has less than 2 orders (which is correctly addressed with the LEFT JOIN).
  • For Tournament Winners: The solution correctly calculates total scores and selects the top player per group. The tie-breaker (player_id) is appropriately implemented.
  1. Time Complexity:
  • Both solutions use window functions (RANK() and ROW_NUMBER()) which typically have O(n log n) complexity due to sorting.
  • The JOIN operations add to the complexity, but this is standard for SQL queries.
  1. Space Complexity:
  • The CTEs create temporary result sets, but this is necessary for the logic and standard practice in SQL.
  1. Code Quality:
  • Strengths:
    • Clear use of CTEs to break down complex logic
    • Proper use of window functions
    • Consistent formatting
  • Areas for Improvement:
    • Column aliases should avoid using single quotes (use double quotes or no quotes for standard identifiers)
    • The CTE names could be more descriptive (e.g., "SecondItems" instead of "ACTE")
    • The CASE statement in Market Analysis II could be simplified
  1. Efficiency:
  • Both solutions could potentially benefit from proper indexing on join columns and filter conditions.
  • For Tournament Winners, consider if a simpler approach without UNION ALL might be possible.
