bookChallenge: Optimizing a Ratings Analysis Query

Task

Swipe to start coding

You are tasked with analyzing and optimizing a query that aggregates driver ratings and ride statistics. The goal is to improve the performance of a query that calculates, for each driver, the total number of rides and their average rating.

  • Use EXPLAIN to analyze the original query's execution plan.
  • Write and include an optimized query for better performance, using the available tables and data. You must provide the optimized query solution code; if it is missing or incomplete, the task will not pass.
  • Your optimized query must return, for each driver, their driver_id, first_name, last_name, the total number of rides (total_rides), and their average rating (avg_rating).
  • Ensure that drivers with no rides or ratings still appear in the results, with total_rides and avg_rating as zero.
  • Use EXPLAIN to show the execution plan of your optimized query.
  • The test will fail if your solution does not include a complete and correct optimized query.
