= Complex DB Reports == 1. Top Selling Products and Restock Plan {{{#!div style="text-align: justify; width: 100%;" This report is meant to look at the best-selling items over the last year to figure out exactly when they will sell out and how products should be repurchased. By calculating how many copies of a specific vinyl, CD, or cassette are sold every day and comparing that speed to what is left in stock, the query will find items that will run out of stock in less than a month. It then automatically calculates the perfect order amount to keep the store supplied for the next three months without overspending, ensuring top money-makers are never missing from the shelves. }}} ==== SQL {{{ SET search_path TO project; WITH product_sales_yearly AS ( SELECT op.product_id, SUM(op.quantity) AS total_sold_yearly, SUM(op.quantity) / 365.0 AS daily_sales_velocity FROM ORDER_PRODUCTS op JOIN ORDERS o ON op.order_id = o.order_id WHERE o.purchase_date >= CURRENT_DATE - INTERVAL '1 year' AND o.status IN ('PAID', 'SHIPPED', 'DELIVERED') GROUP BY op.product_id ), inventory_velocity AS ( SELECT p.product_id, p.format, p.stock, p.price, r.title AS release_title, psy.total_sold_yearly, psy.daily_sales_velocity, CASE WHEN psy.daily_sales_velocity > 0 THEN p.stock / psy.daily_sales_velocity ELSE 9999 END AS days_until_out_of_stock FROM PRODUCTS p JOIN RELEASES r ON p.release_id = r.release_id JOIN product_sales_yearly psy ON p.product_id = psy.product_id ) SELECT product_id, release_title, format, stock AS current_stock, total_sold_yearly, ROUND(CAST(daily_sales_velocity AS NUMERIC), 2) AS daily_velocity, ROUND(CAST(days_until_out_of_stock AS NUMERIC), 1) AS days_left, CEIL((daily_sales_velocity * 90) - stock) AS recommended_restock_quantity FROM inventory_velocity WHERE days_until_out_of_stock < 30 ORDER BY daily_velocity DESC, days_left ASC; }}} ==== Relational Algebra {{{ ProductSalesYearly <- γ product_id; total_sold_yearly := SUM(op.quantity), daily_sales_velocity := SUM(op.quantity) / 365.0 ( σ o.purchase_date >= CURRENT_DATE - 1 year ∧ o.status ∈ {PAID, SHIPPED, DELIVERED} ( ORDER_PRODUCTS op ⨝ (op.order_id = o.order_id) ORDERS o ) ) InventoryVelocity <- π product_id, format, stock, price, release_title, total_sold_yearly, daily_sales_velocity, days_until_out_of_stock := CASE WHEN daily_sales_velocity > 0 THEN stock / daily_sales_velocity ELSE 9999 END ( ( PRODUCTS p ⨝ (p.release_id = r.release_id) RELEASES r ) ⨝ (p.product_id = psy.product_id) ProductSalesYearly psy ) Result <- π product_id, release_title, format, current_stock := stock, total_sold_yearly, daily_velocity := ROUND(daily_sales_velocity, 2), days_left := ROUND(days_until_out_of_stock, 1), recommended_restock_quantity := CEIL((daily_sales_velocity * 90) - stock) ( σ days_until_out_of_stock < 30 ( InventoryVelocity ) ) τ daily_velocity ↓, days_left ↑ (Result) }}} == 2. Slow Moving Products {{{#!div style="text-align: justify; width: 100%;" This report is meant to look at items that are completely stuck in inventory. The query scans the database to find products that have either never been bought or have had zero sales for more than six months, while also checking if customers are still adding them to their wishlists or ignoring them completely. It multiplies the current unsold stock by the item's original price to show managers exactly how much cash is frozen in dead inventory, making it easy to see which releases need discounts. }}} ==== SQL {{{ SET search_path TO project; WITH product_sales_6months AS ( SELECT op.product_id, SUM(op.quantity) AS units_sold_6m, MAX(o.purchase_date) AS last_purchase_date FROM ORDER_PRODUCTS op JOIN ORDERS o ON op.order_id = o.order_id WHERE o.purchase_date >= CURRENT_DATE - INTERVAL '6 months' AND o.status IN ('PAID', 'SHIPPED', 'DELIVERED') GROUP BY op.product_id ), product_wishlist_counts AS ( SELECT product_id, COUNT(wishlist_id) AS wishlist_addition_count FROM WISHLIST_PRODUCTS GROUP BY product_id ) SELECT p.product_id, r.title AS release_title, p.format, p.stock AS unsold_stock_quantity, p.price AS current_unit_price, (p.stock * p.price) AS frozen_capital, COALESCE(TO_CHAR(ps.last_purchase_date, 'YYYY-MM-DD'), 'NEVER BOUGHT') AS last_sold_date, COALESCE(pw.wishlist_addition_count, 0) AS times_on_wishlists, CASE WHEN COALESCE(pw.wishlist_addition_count, 0) > 0 THEN 'Discount Target (Wishlisted)' ELSE 'Deep Liquidation/Clearance Target' END AS inventory_action_plan FROM PRODUCTS p JOIN RELEASES r ON p.release_id = r.release_id LEFT JOIN product_sales_6months ps ON p.product_id = ps.product_id LEFT JOIN product_wishlist_counts pw ON p.product_id = pw.product_id WHERE (ps.product_id IS NULL) AND (p.stock > 0) ORDER BY frozen_capital DESC, times_on_wishlists DESC; }}} ==== Relational Algebra {{{ ProductSales6M <- γ product_id; units_sold_6m := SUM(op.quantity), last_purchase_date := MAX(o.purchase_date) ( σ o.purchase_date >= CURRENT_DATE - 6 months ∧ o.status ∈ {PAID, SHIPPED, DELIVERED} ( ORDER_PRODUCTS op ⨝ (op.order_id = o.order_id) ORDERS o ) ) WishlistCounts <- γ product_id; wishlist_addition_count := COUNT(wishlist_id) ( WISHLIST_PRODUCTS ) JoinedData <- ( ( PRODUCTS p ⨝ (p.release_id = r.release_id) RELEASES r ) ⟕ (p.product_id = ps.product_id) ProductSales6M ps ⟕ (p.product_id = wc.product_id) WishlistCounts wc ) Result <- π p.product_id, release_title := r.title, p.format, unsold_stock_quantity := p.stock, current_unit_price := p.price, frozen_capital := p.stock * p.price, last_sold_date := COALESCE(TO_CHAR(ps.last_purchase_date, 'YYYY-MM-DD'), 'NEVER BOUGHT'), times_on_wishlists := COALESCE(wc.wishlist_addition_count, 0), inventory_action_plan := CASE WHEN COALESCE(wc.wishlist_addition_count, 0) > 0 THEN 'Discount Target (Wishlisted)' ELSE 'Deep Liquidation/Clearance Target' END ( σ ps.product_id IS NULL ∧ p.stock > 0 ( JoinedData ) ) τ frozen_capital ↓, times_on_wishlists ↓ (Result) }}} == 3. Impact of Admin Discounts on Sales Numbers {{{#!div style="text-align: justify; width: 100%;" This report checks if discounts and promotions created by product managers actually bring in more profit or just lose money. It monitors sales numbers 30 days before and 30 days after an administrator modifies a product to lower its price. By comparing the drop in profit margin per item against the increase in total orders, the query would prove whether the discount caused a big enough wave of new buyers to make the promotion successful or if it just hurt the overall revenue. }}} ==== SQL {{{ SET search_path TO project; WITH discount_events AS ( SELECT m.modification_id, m.admin_id, m.date_modified, m.discount AS discount_percentage, mp.product_id FROM MODIFICATIONS m JOIN MODIFICATION_PRODUCTS mp ON m.modification_id = mp.modification_id WHERE m.type_of_modification = 'DISCOUNT' ), pre_promo_sales AS ( SELECT de.modification_id, de.product_id, COALESCE(SUM(op.quantity), 0) AS units_sold_before, COALESCE(SUM(op.quantity * op.price_at_purchase), 0.00) AS revenue_before FROM discount_events de LEFT JOIN ORDER_PRODUCTS op ON de.product_id = op.product_id LEFT JOIN ORDERS o ON op.order_id = o.order_id AND o.purchase_date >= de.date_modified - INTERVAL '30 days' AND o.purchase_date < de.date_modified AND o.status IN ('PAID', 'SHIPPED', 'DELIVERED') GROUP BY de.modification_id, de.product_id ), post_promo_sales AS ( SELECT de.modification_id, de.product_id, COALESCE(SUM(op.quantity), 0) AS units_sold_after, COALESCE(SUM(op.quantity * op.price_at_purchase), 0.00) AS revenue_after FROM discount_events de LEFT JOIN ORDER_PRODUCTS op ON de.product_id = op.product_id LEFT JOIN ORDERS o ON op.order_id = o.order_id AND o.purchase_date > de.date_modified AND o.purchase_date <= de.date_modified + INTERVAL '30 days' AND o.status IN ('PAID', 'SHIPPED', 'DELIVERED') GROUP BY de.modification_id, de.product_id ), promo_summary AS ( SELECT de.product_id, r.title AS release_title, p.format AS product_format, de.date_modified AS promotion_start_date, de.discount_percentage AS discount_applied, pre.units_sold_before, post.units_sold_after, (post.units_sold_after - pre.units_sold_before) AS volume_change, pre.revenue_before, post.revenue_after, (post.revenue_after - pre.revenue_before) AS net_revenue_impact FROM discount_events de JOIN PRODUCTS p ON de.product_id = p.product_id JOIN RELEASES r ON p.release_id = r.release_id JOIN pre_promo_sales pre ON de.modification_id = pre.modification_id AND de.product_id = pre.product_id JOIN post_promo_sales post ON de.modification_id = post.modification_id AND de.product_id = post.product_id ) SELECT product_id, release_title, product_format, promotion_start_date, discount_applied, units_sold_before, units_sold_after, volume_change, revenue_before, revenue_after, net_revenue_impact, CASE WHEN (net_revenue_impact > 0) AND (volume_change > 0) THEN 'SUCCESS: Volume generated profit' WHEN (net_revenue_impact < 0) AND (volume_change > 0) THEN 'MARGIN LOSS: Volume rose but lost overall revenue' WHEN (volume_change <= 0) THEN 'FAILURE: No demand increase observed' ELSE 'NEUTRAL' END AS promotion_verdict FROM promo_summary ORDER BY promotion_start_date DESC, net_revenue_impact DESC; }}} ==== Relational Algebra {{{ DiscountEvents <- σ m.type_of_modification = 'DISCOUNT' ( MODIFICATIONS m ⨝ (m.modification_id = mp.modification_id) MODIFICATION_PRODUCTS mp ) PrePromoSales <- γ modification_id, product_id; units_sold_before := SUM(op.quantity), revenue_before := SUM(op.quantity * op.price_at_purchase) ( σ o.purchase_date ∈ [m.date_modified - 30 days, m.date_modified) ∧ o.status ∈ {PAID, SHIPPED, DELIVERED} ( DiscountEvents de ⨝ ORDER_PRODUCTS op ⨝ ORDERS o ) ) PostPromoSales <- γ modification_id, product_id; units_sold_after := SUM(op.quantity), revenue_after := SUM(op.quantity * op.price_at_purchase) ( σ o.purchase_date ∈ (m.date_modified, m.date_modified + 30 days] ∧ o.status ∈ {PAID, SHIPPED, DELIVERED} ( DiscountEvents de ⨝ ORDER_PRODUCTS op ⨝ ORDERS o ) ) PromoSummary <- π product_id, release_title := r.title, product_format := p.format, promotion_start_date := de.date_modified, discount_applied := de.discount_percentage, volume_change := post.units_sold_after - pre.units_sold_before, net_revenue_impact := post.revenue_after - pre.revenue_before, units_sold_before := pre.units_sold_before, units_sold_after := post.units_sold_after, revenue_before := pre.revenue_before, revenue_after := post.revenue_after ( DiscountEvents de ⨝ PRODUCTS p ⨝ RELEASES r ⨝ PrePromoSales pre ⨝ PostPromoSales post ) Result <- τ promotion_start_date ↓, net_revenue_impact ↓ ( π *, promotion_verdict := CASE WHEN net_revenue_impact > 0 ∧ volume_change > 0 THEN 'SUCCESS' WHEN net_revenue_impact < 0 ∧ volume_change > 0 THEN 'MARGIN LOSS' WHEN volume_change <= 0 THEN 'FAILURE' ELSE 'NEUTRAL' END ( PromoSummary ) ) }}} == 4. Customer Habits and Points Spending {{{#!div style="text-align: justify; width: 100%;" This report tracks how registered users behave over a period of two years by looking at how they earn and spend their rewards points. It groups buyers based on the year they created their accounts and measures their total shopping history alongside their points balance to see who is saving up thousands of points and who is actively spending them. This helps find high-value users who hold a large number of unspent points, which represents a future discount cost and can indicate if customers stop buying completely once their free rewards are used up. }}} ==== SQL {{{ SET search_path TO project; WITH user_purchase_metrics AS ( SELECT o.user_id, COUNT(o.order_id) AS total_orders_placed, COALESCE(SUM(o.points_earned), 0) AS lifetime_points_earned, COALESCE(SUM(o.points_used), 0) AS lifetime_points_burned, COALESCE(SUM(op.quantity * op.price_at_purchase), 0.00) AS total_monetary_spend FROM ORDERS o LEFT JOIN ORDER_PRODUCTS op ON o.order_id = op.order_id WHERE o.purchase_date >= CURRENT_DATE - INTERVAL '2 years' AND o.status IN ('PAID', 'SHIPPED', 'DELIVERED') GROUP BY o.user_id ), promo_summary AS ( SELECT u.user_id, u.username, u.email, EXTRACT(YEAR FROM u.date_created) AS account_creation_vintage, u.date_created AS registration_date, COALESCE(upm.total_orders_placed, 0) AS orders_count_2yr, ROUND(COALESCE(upm.total_monetary_spend, 0.00), 2) AS lifetime_spend_amount, c.points_collected AS current_unspent_points_balance, COALESCE(upm.lifetime_points_earned, 0) AS points_earned_2yr, COALESCE(upm.lifetime_points_burned, 0) AS points_burned_2yr FROM CONSUMERS c JOIN USERS u ON c.user_id = u.user_id LEFT JOIN user_purchase_metrics upm ON c.user_id = upm.user_id WHERE u.date_created >= CURRENT_DATE - INTERVAL '2 years' ), promo_summary_with_flags AS ( SELECT *, CASE WHEN current_unspent_points_balance >= 2000 AND orders_count_2yr >= 10 THEN 1 ELSE 0 END AS is_vip, CASE WHEN current_unspent_points_balance >= 1000 AND points_burned_2yr = 0 THEN 1 ELSE 0 END AS is_hoarder, CASE WHEN points_burned_2yr > 0 AND orders_count_2yr <= 2 THEN 1 ELSE 0 END AS is_churned FROM promo_summary ) SELECT user_id, username, email, account_creation_vintage, registration_date, orders_count_2yr, lifetime_spend_amount, current_unspent_points_balance, points_earned_2yr, points_burned_2yr, CASE WHEN is_vip = 1 THEN 'VIP Tier: High Future Discount Liability' WHEN is_hoarder = 1 THEN 'Points Hoarder: Inactive Burn (High Risk)' WHEN is_churned = 1 THEN 'Churned After Reward Use (No Retention)' ELSE 'Standard Active Engagement Profile' END AS customer_retention_segment FROM promo_summary_with_flags ORDER BY account_creation_vintage DESC, current_unspent_points_balance DESC; }}} ==== Relational Algebra {{{ UserPurchaseMetrics <- γ user_id; total_orders_placed := COUNT(order_id), lifetime_points_earned := SUM(points_earned), lifetime_points_burned := SUM(points_used), total_monetary_spend := SUM(op.quantity * op.price_at_purchase) ( σ o.purchase_date >= NOW - 2 years ∧ o.status ∈ {PAID, SHIPPED, DELIVERED} ( ORDERS o ⟕ ORDER_PRODUCTS op ) ) PromoSummaryUsers <- π u.user_id, u.username, u.email, account_creation_vintage := EXTRACT(YEAR FROM u.date_created), registration_date := u.date_created, orders_count_2yr := COALESCE(um.total_orders_placed, 0), lifetime_spend_amount := COALESCE(um.total_monetary_spend, 0), current_unspent_points_balance := c.points_collected, points_earned_2yr := COALESCE(um.lifetime_points_earned, 0), points_burned_2yr := COALESCE(um.lifetime_points_burned, 0) ( CONSUMERS c ⨝ USERS u ⟕ UserPurchaseMetrics um ) UserFlags <- π *, is_vip := CASE WHEN current_unspent_points_balance ≥ 2000 ∧ orders_count_2yr ≥ 10 THEN 1 ELSE 0 END, is_hoarder := CASE WHEN current_unspent_points_balance ≥ 1000 ∧ points_burned_2yr = 0 THEN 1 ELSE 0 END, is_churned := CASE WHEN points_burned_2yr > 0 ∧ orders_count_2yr ≤ 2 THEN 1 ELSE 0 END ( PromoSummaryUsers ) Result <- τ account_creation_vintage ↓, current_unspent_points_balance ↓ ( π user_id, username, email, account_creation_vintage, registration_date, orders_count_2yr, lifetime_spend_amount, current_unspent_points_balance, points_earned_2yr, points_burned_2yr, customer_retention_segment := CASE WHEN is_vip = 1 THEN 'VIP' WHEN is_hoarder = 1 THEN 'HOARDER' WHEN is_churned = 1 THEN 'CHURNED' ELSE 'STANDARD' END ( UserFlags ) ) }}}
