Problem Statement

Column NameType
player_idint
device_idint
event_datedate
games_playedint
Table: Activity

(player_id, event_date) is the primary key of this table. This table shows the activity of players of some game.

Each row is a record of a player who logged in and played a number of games (possibly 0) before logging out on some day using some device.

Write an SQL query that reports for each player and date, how many games played so far by the player. That is, the total number of games played by the player until that date. Check the example for clarity.

The query result format is in the following example:

Example 1:
Input:

player_iddevice_idevent_dategames_played
122016-03-015
122016-05-026
232017-06-251
312016-03-020
342018-07-035
Activity table:

Output:

player_idfirst_login
12016-03-01
22017-06-25
32016-03-02
Result table:

Explanation:
For the player with id 1, 5 + 6 = 11 games played by 2016-05-02, and 5 + 6 + 1 = 12 games played by 2017-06-25.
For the player with id 3, 0 + 5 = 5 games played by 2018-07-03.
Note that for each player we only care about the days when the player logged in.
