Right... Good call. In that case, the sales table should have a default for the department id field set to 0, and then the unknown row would have an ID of 0
It probably means that your solution doesn't work with integer string values as described in the problem description. Your solution returns [1.0, 2.0, 3.0] for parameter array ["1", "2", "3"] whereas it should return [1, 2, 3]. The test set seems to be a bit lacking as they are not testing this case.

Because id cannot be null in table departments (cause PK), then no values will be provided for result.
If the db is built properly, the departments table would have a null row that would have the name "Unknown"
And what happens if the department_id field of the sales table is null your solution falls.
eval() is now disabled
Note: python 2 & 3 compatible solution

Don't understand question :(
What about integers?
Yeap, you can join same table multiply times if it's needed
You need to check, that there is not eval func in solution.
