Understanding the Problem and Breaking it Down The problem involves categorizing customers based on their movie rental frequency. We have three categories: Regulars, Weekenders, and Hoi Polloi (a catch-all for those who don’t fit into the other two). To determine these categories, we need to analyze the customer’s rental history. Table Structure Overview We are given three tables: Customer, Movie, and Rental. The Rental table contains information about each rental, including the customer ID, movie ID, rental date, payment date, and amount.
