| customer\_id | int |
| name | varchar |
+---------------+---------+
customer\_id is the primary key for this table.
This table contains information about customers.
Table: Orders
+---------------+---------+
| Column Name | Type |
+---------------+---------+
| order\_id | int |
| order\_date | date |
| customer\_id | int |
| cost | int |
+---------------+---------+
order\_id is the primary key for this table.
This table contains information about the orders made by customer\_id.
Each customer has **one order per day**.
Write an SQL query to find the most recent 3 orders of each user. If a user ordered less than 3 orders return all of their orders.
Return the result table sorted by customer_name in ascending order and in case of a tie by the customer_id in ascending order. If there still a tie, order them by the order_date in descending order.
The query result format is in the following example:
Customers
+-------------+-----------+
| customer\_id | name |
+-------------+-----------+
| 1 | Winston |
| 2 | Jonathan |
| 3 | Annabelle |
| 4 | Marwan |
| 5 | Khaled |
+-------------+-----------+
Orders
+----------+------------+-------------+------+
| order\_id | order\_date | customer\_id | cost |
+----------+------------+-------------+------+
| 1 | 2020-07-31 | 1 | 30 |
| 2 | 2020-07-30 | 2 | 40 |
| 3 | 2020-07-31 | 3 | 70 |
| 4 | 2020-07-29 | 4 | 100 |
| 5 | 2020-06-10 | 1 | 1010 |
| 6 | 2020-08-01 | 2 | 102 |
| 7 | 2020-08-01 | 3 | 111 |
| 8 | 2020-08-03 | 1 | 99 |
| 9 | 2020-08-07 | 2 | 32 |
| 10 | 2020-07-15 | 1 | 2 |
+----------+------------+-------------+------+
Result table:
+---------------+-------------+----------+------------+
| customer\_name | customer\_id | order\_id | order\_date |
+---------------+-------------+----------+------------+
| Annabelle | 3 | 7 | 2020-08-01 |
| Annabelle | 3 | 3 | 2020-07-31 |
| Jonathan | 2 | 9 | 2020-08-07 |
| Jonathan | 2 | 6 | 2020-08-01 |
| Jonathan | 2 | 2 | 2020-07-30 |
| Marwan | 4 | 4 | 2020-07-29 |
| Winston | 1 | 8 | 2020-08-03 |
| Winston | 1 | 1 | 2020-07-31 |
| Winston | 1 | 10 | 2020-07-15 |
+---------------+-------------+----------+------------+
Winston has 4 orders, we discard the order of "2020-06-10" because it is the oldest order.
Annabelle has only 2 orders, we return them.
Jonathan has exactly 3 orders.
Marwan ordered only one time.
We sort the result table by customer\_name in ascending order, by customer\_id in ascending order and by order\_date in descending order in case of a tie.
Follow-up:
Can you write a general solution for the most recent n orders?
