Simple SQL that I am stuck on

Question

What percent of customers are reward members?

ID                 Reward Member
1                       y
2                       y
3                       n
4            


        

Answer 1

I would use conditional aggregation:

select avg( case when rewardmember = 'y' then 1.0 else 0 end) as ratio
from t;

Some databases allow shorter syntax, such as:

select avg( rewardmember = 'y' )
from t;

or:

select avg( (rewardmember = 'y')::int )
from t;

Answer 2

You can use COUNT():

select
  1.0 *
  count(case when reward_member = 'y' then 1 else 0 end)
  / count(*) 
from t

Answer 3

Count how many are members, divide by total number of customers and multiply by 100.

SELECT sum(case when RewardMember = 'y' then 1 else 0 end)*100.0/count(*) as percentage
FROM Customers
