This seems really easy, but I don't know why I'm coming across this error.
Create a table called "movies" with a VARCHAR column named "title" and an INTEGER column named "year". The title should be up to 255 characters long.
I put:
create table movies (title varchar(255), year integer);
The error:
The types for title and year are incorrect. Use VARCHAR(255) and INTEGER respectively.
Any ideas because this is exactly how the setup was in the video?
