Database Foundations Code Challenge

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.

Below is what I have:

SELECT movies.title, genres.name FROM movies INNER JOIN genres ON movies.genre_id = genres.id;

Please let me know what I am doing wrong

This is from Stage 6 - "Joining Relational Data Between Tables in SQL".

Thanks

Shen

In the columns you are selecting you do not need to specify which table the field comes from. When you joined the tables together they essentially became one table.

select title, name from movies join genres on genres.id = movies.genre_id;
