The Light Users

mediumSQLJoinsGroupByHAVING

Northline Bank calls a customer a light user when they made exactly two movements in the month: engaged enough to be worth keeping, quiet enough to be worth growing. Marketing wants that list by name so it can be handed straight to the campaign team.

transactions — one row per movement of money. customer_id points at a row in customers; type is one of deposit, withdrawal or transfer; txn_date is the day it settled. The ledger is signed: money arriving in an account is stored as a positive amount, and money leaving it as a negative one, so a 600-dollar withdrawal is recorded as -600.

id customer_id amount type txn_date
1 1 500 deposit 2023-07-01
2 1 -120 withdrawal 2023-07-03
3 2 1000 deposit 2023-07-02
4 2 -300 withdrawal 2023-07-05
5 3 250 deposit 2023-07-04
6 3 -600 withdrawal 2023-07-06
7 4 800 deposit 2023-07-07
8 4 -450 withdrawal 2023-07-08
9 5 2000 deposit 2023-07-09
10 5 -1500 withdrawal 2023-07-10
11 1 -200 transfer 2023-07-11
12 3 400 deposit 2023-07-12

customers — one row per account holder at Northline. account_type is either checking or savings; city is the branch city the account belongs to.

id name account_type city
1 Farah Idris checking Chicago
2 Grant Boyle savings Miami
3 Hana Suzuki checking Chicago
4 Ibrahim Njoku savings Miami
5 Jade Wu checking Seattle

Both tables already exist in the database — there is nothing to create or load.

Task: Write a query that returns a single column, name, listing every customer who made exactly two movements in the month, sorted alphabetically by name. Customers with one movement, or three, or none at all, must not appear.

Example output — shape only, on invented customers. If exactly three people had made two movements each, you would get:

name
Marisol Vega
Nadia Ferreira
Tobias Renner
