Next station
Wielding window functions effectively is like having a superpower. You can achieve results much faster.
In this exercise, you will use window functions to provide additional information for passengers aboard a train. In particular, you will use the train_schedule table to also provide the name of the next station, a common form of information that gives commuters time to prepare for the next stop.
