Table: SeasonStats

| team_name        | varchar |
| matches_played   | int     |
| wins             | int     |
| draws            | int     |

(season_id, team_id) is the unique key for this table.
This table contains season id, team id, team name, matches played, wins, draws, losses, goals scored (goals_for), and goals conceded (goals_against) for each team in each season.

Write a solution to calculate the points, goal difference, and rank for each team in each season. The ranking should be determined as follows:

  • Teams are first ranked by their total points (highest to lowest)
  • If points are tied, teams are then ranked by their goal difference (highest to lowest)
  • If goal difference is also tied, teams are then ranked alphabetically by team name

Points are calculated as follows:

  • 3 points for a win
  • 1 point for a draw
  • 0 points for a loss

Goal difference is calculated as: goals_for - goals_against

Return the result table ordered by season_id in ascending order, then by rank in ascending order, and finally by team_name in ascending order.

The query result format is in the following example.

Solutions

Solution 1: Window Function

We can use the window function RANK() to rank the teams by grouping them by season and sorting based on points, goal difference, and team name.

Finally, we just need to sort by season_id, position, and team_name.
