Given a table 'clients' (client_id, full_name, date_start, date_end) and a table 'transactions' (transaction_id, client_id, date, amount), write an SQL query to calculate the sum of transactions for each client on May 1, 2025, and output client_id, full_name, and sum.

If we set a filter condition on the transaction date in the WHERE clause (after the LEFT JOIN), will this cut the result based on the first table (clients)?
