Courses Plus Student 3,520 PointsDatabase Basics - Joining Tables and Aliasing Challenge 1 of 2
I cannot figure out the answer to this challenge. It seems relatively easy compared to the challenges in the previous lessons, but the error message I am getting is not helpful whatsoever. Does anybody have the correct answer?

Courses Plus Student 3,520 PointsChallenge question - We have a 'movies' table with a 'title' and 'genre_id' column and a 'genres' table has an 'id' and 'name' column. Use an INNER JOIN to join the 'movies' and 'genres' tables together only selecting the movie 'title' first and the genre 'name' second
My answer - SELECT * FROM movies JOIN genres ON movies.title = genres.name;

Courses Plus Student 13,164 PointsHi Anthony - It is asking you to only select the movie title and genre name, but you have used * to select all. Also, even though using just JOIN will work, it would like you to specify INNER JOIN. I would suggest watching the video again to make sure you have a good grasp on it before moving on. Good luck!
