Calculating the Rate of a Attribute by ID SQL Understanding the Problem The problem at hand is to calculate the rate of a specific attribute (in this case, “reordered”) for each product in a database. The attribute can have values of ‘1’ or ‘0’, and we want to express this as a percentage of total occurrences. We are given a table schema with columns order_id, product_id, add_to_cart_order, and reordered. Our goal is to calculate the rate of “reordered” by product, ignoring the values of order_id.
