SELECT c.first_name, c.last_name, a.account_type, a.balance
FROM customers c, accounts a
WHERE c.customer_id = a.customer_id;
-- Transaction history with details
SELECT transaction_type, amount, description, created_at
FROM transactions
WHERE account_id = 1
ORDER BY created_at DESC;
-- High-value customers
SELECT c.first_name, c.last_name, SUM(a.balance) as total_balance
FROM customers c, accounts a
WHERE c.customer_id = a.customer_id
GROUP BY c.customer_id
HAVING total_balance > 50000;
