What is this supposedly outputting? (Subqueries)

The question asks for the Make Name, but the error at the end says something about not outputting all of the Make ID's.

I have tried both starting with SELECT MakeID and SELECT ModelID.

Is there something i'm obviously missing here?

Challenge Task 1 of 4 In a car database there is a Model table with columns, ModelID, MakeID and ModelName and a Car table with columns, CarID, ModelID, VIN, ModelYear and StickerPrice.

Use a subquery along with IN to list all the Model Names with a Sticker Price greater than $30000

SELECT ModelID FROM Model WHERE StickerPrice IN (SELECT * FROM Car WHERE StickerPrice > 30000);

There are a few issues:

  • the instructions ask for Model Names but ModelID is being selected
  • the (main) filter condition uses StickerPrice but that column does not exist in the Model table
  • the subquery should select only the column being compared by the WHERE...IN clause
  • the main filter should use a column that is common to both tables
