Answer:

Explanation:

Box 1: SELECT..COALESCE…

The COALESCE function evaluates the arguments in order and returns the current value of the first expression that initially does not evaluate to NULL.

Box 2: ..LEFT OUTER JOIN..

The LEFT JOIN (LEFT OUTER JOIN) keyword returns all rows from the left table (table1), with the matching rows in the right table (table2). The result is NULL in the right side when there is no match. A customer might have no orders so the right table must be allowed have a NULL value.

Box 3: ON c.custid = o.custid

We JOIN on the custID column, which is available in both tables.

Box 4: GROUP BY c.custid
