1070. Product Sales Analysis III

Description of Problem

Table: Sales

+-------------+-------+
| Column Name | Type  |
+-------------+-------+
| sale_id     | int   |
| product_id  | int   |
| year        | int   |
| quantity    | int   |
| price       | int   |
+-------------+-------+
(sale_id, year) is the primary key (combination of columns with unique values) of this table.
product_id is a foreign key (reference column) to Product table.
Each row of this table shows a sale on the product product_id in a certain year.
Note that the price is per unit.

Table: Product

+--------------+---------+
| Column Name  | Type    |
+--------------+---------+
| product_id   | int     |
| product_name | varchar |
+--------------+---------+
product_id is the primary key (column with unique values) of this table.
Each row of this table indicates the product name of each product.

Write a solution to select the product id, year, quantity, and price for the first year of every product sold.

Return the resulting table in any order.

The result format is in the following example.

Example 1:

Input: 
Sales table:
+---------+------------+------+----------+-------+
| sale_id | product_id | year | quantity | price |
+---------+------------+------+----------+-------+ 
| 1       | 100        | 2008 | 10       | 5000  |
| 2       | 100        | 2009 | 12       | 5000  |
| 7       | 200        | 2011 | 15       | 9000  |
+---------+------------+------+----------+-------+
Product table:
+------------+--------------+
| product_id | product_name |
+------------+--------------+
| 100        | Nokia        |
| 200        | Apple        |
| 300        | Samsung      |
+------------+--------------+
Output:

| product_id | first_year | quantity | price |
+------------+------------+----------+-------+ 
| 100        | 2008       | 10       | 5000  |
| 200        | 2011       | 15       | 9000  |

Explanation

Rows GROUP BY product_id and first_year is are unique. Thus, ROW_NUMBER with PARTITION does not work.

Code (MySQL)

-- Write your MySQL query statement below
WITH p AS (
    SELECT MIN(year) first_year, product_id, year
    FROM Sales
    GROUP BY product_id
)
SELECT s.product_id, p.first_year, s.quantity, s.price
FROM Sales s 
INNER JOIN p
ON s.product_id = p.product_id
AND s.year = p.first_year;
