Basic SQL help

This is the question: We have an e-commerce database. Inside the products table we have the columns of id, name, description and price. Without using the OR keyword, find all products with the price of 7.99, 9.99 or 11.99.

This is my statement: SELECT id, name, description, price FROM products WHERE price IN ("7.99","9.99", "11.99");

Says that it's wrong due to me not selecting all of the columns,

I think you have two issues:

  • since columns weren't specifically asked for, you might need "SELECT * ..."
  • enclosing your numeric values in quotes makes them strings instead of numbers

To enable the most complete and accurate analysis, always include a link to the course page you were working with.

Hey Steven,

Thanks for the help! Using the "*" selector worked.
