๐Ÿ”ฅ FAANG SQL Interview Question

๐Ÿ“Š For each user, find their most frequently purchased product
(If tie โ†’ return all tied products)

Table: Orders

user_id | product_id

๐Ÿ’ก Query:

WITH freq AS (
SELECT user_id,
product_id,
COUNT(*) AS cnt
FROM Orders
GROUP BY user_id, product_id
),
ranked AS (
SELECT *,
RANK() OVER (PARTITION BY user_id ORDER BY cnt DESC) AS rnk
FROM freq
)
SELECT user_id, product_id, cnt
FROM ranked
WHERE rnk = 1;

โœ… Aggregate first, then rank
โœ… Use RANK() to include ties
