+Our bookstore has some marketing budget. The marketing team wants to send coupons to customers who have never placed an order. They have asked us to extract the list of customers for them.
+
+We have the `customer` and `sale` tables.
+
+> `customer` table has the list of customers.
+
+| id  | name          | email                     |
+| --- | ------------- | ------------------------- |
+| 1   | John Doe      | john.doe@example.com      |
+| 2   | Jane Smith    | jane.smith@example.com    |
+| 3   | Alice Johnson | alice.johnson@example.com |
+| 4   | Bob Brown     | bob.brown@example.com     |
+| 5   | Charlie Davis | charlie.davis@example.com |
+| 6   | David Lee     | david.lee@example.com     |
+
+> `sale` table has the list of sales.
+
+| id  | customer_id | order_date | total_amount |
+| --- | ----------- | ---------- | ------------ |
+| 1   | 1           | 2024-12-02 | 100.00       |
+| 2   | 1           | 2024-11-15 | 150.00       |
+| 3   | 1           | 2024-10-20 | 200.00       |
+| 4   | 4           | 2024-12-26 | 250.00       |
+| 5   | 5           | 2024-11-12 | 300.00       |
+| 6   | 2           | 2024-11-23 | 300.00       |
+| 7   | 2           | 2024-11-11 | 300.00       |
+
+Write a query to find customers who have never placed an order.
+
+## Expected Output
+
+| id  | name          | email                     |
+| --- | ------------- | ------------------------- |
+| 6   | David Lee     | david.lee@example.com     |
+| 3   | Alice Johnson | alice.johnson@example.com |
+
+## Solution
+
+```sql
+SELECT c.id, c.name, c.email
+FROM customer c
+LEFT JOIN sale s
+  ON c.id = s.customer_id
+WHERE s.id IS NULL;
+```
