Count the number of data per time series
You are a data scientist on a team evaluating weather time series data that another team has uploaded from an import file and you have been called upon to analyze the usefulness of this new dataset.
You have two tables that contain the data. Each time series is identified by a filename
, station_id
, and two character state
code. You have been told that two of the stations have fewer data points than the other stations.
Write a query that indicates which two stations have the fewest data, sorted in ascending number of data points.
The tables temperature_stations
and temperatures_monthly
are available to you.
This exercise is part of the course

Exercise instructions
