Are the Spaces before the SQL-query invalid? If we append some spaces before the SQL query, does it makes an invalid SQL-query? for Example:
SELECT username AS "Username", first_name AS "First Name", last_name AS "Last Name" FROM users;
Gives the Error:
Bummer!
You should try writing a SELECT query
Whereas if i remove the spaces from the staring of the query, it works fine.
SELECT username AS "Username", first_name AS "First Name", last_name AS "Last Name" FROM users;

I think most SQL engines disregard leading spaces. But the challenge checking mechanism apparently does not.

Treehouse Guest TeacherHey Steven Parker and Krishna Pratap Chouhan
I've updated this challenge to accept white space at the beginning.
If you spot any other issues like this let me know!
