Practice app · Acme Commerce DB
A real SQL database (SQLite engine) seeded with an e-commerce and HR dataset, with schema browser and query runner.
Your starter code already declares TEST_URL — never hardcode a host.
Objective
Finance reports a mismatch; reproduce the defect and write a reconciliation query that pinpoints orders whose stored total disagrees with their lines.
Your task
- 1Reproduce the defect: UPDATE orders SET total = total + 10 WHERE id = 5.
- 2Join orders to order_items and group per order.
- 3Return id, total, ROUND(SUM(quantity * unit_price), 2) AS items_total and ROUND(total - SUM(quantity * unit_price), 2) AS difference.
- 4Keep only orders where the absolute difference exceeds 0.005.
Acceptance criteria
- The last result set lists exactly the corrupted order with its 10.00 difference
- The query filters groups with HAVING
Constraints
- Every run starts from a freshly seeded database, so your script must include its own setup statements.
- Only the last result set of your script is compared, so finish with the verification query.
