Code snippet

SQL++ is a full-featured SQL implementation, like PL/SQL, with JOINs, CTEs, and CRUD


SELECT u.name, AVG(o.total) AS avgOrderTotal
FROM users u
JOIN orders o ON u.userId = META(o).id
WHERE u.membershipLevel = 'Gold' AND u.status = 'active'
GROUP BY u.name

SELECT u.Name, AVG(o.Total) AS AvgOrderTotal
FROM Users u
JOIN Orders o ON u.UserId = o.UserId
WHERE u.MembershipLevel = 'Gold' AND u.Status = 'active'
GROUP BY u.Name
