sku_id int,
price_date date ,
price int
);
delete from sku;
insert into sku values

    Hi Ankit. Thanks for posting & explaining such challenging SQL problems. Here is my stab at the problem without using calendar table: with RECURSIVE t1 as ( SELECT date_trunc('month', MIN(price_date)) as month_date from sku UNION ALL SELECT month_date+interval '1 month' as month_date from t1 where month_date=sku.price_date) SELECT month_date, month_price from t2 where price_rnk=1 ORDER by 1;

    Very informative, first time I heard about the DATE_TRUNC function, but it's not available for me to practice, since I'm using SQL Server 2018. Edit: Could DATEADD(DAY, 1,EOMONTH(price_date,0)) achieve the same ?
