Creating a database code challenge, task#1

Hello! Ive rewatched the creating databases video but can't seem to pass the code challenge that follows it. I believe I'm using the right keywords and have tried multiple variations that have failed

create_db.sql 
CREATE DATABASE `movie_db`;

Hi David,

Task 1 should pass with either CREATE DATABASE or CREATE SCHEMA followed by the database name but you don't want to put the name in quotes.

Thanks! I received some help yesterday that helped me pass the challenge. Is there any way to mark a question answered?

You're welcome.

Yes, you can select "best answer" which it looks like you've already figured out. :)
