13,659 PointsHaving trouble with Subqureys
I'm having a hard time understanding what I'm supposed to do with the subquery to get it to show that right information cause right now it's telling me that I need to put in an IN for it to work.
In a car database there is a Model table with columns, ModelID, MakeID and ModelName and a Car table with columns, CarID, ModelID, VIN, ModelYear and StickerPrice. Use a subquery along with IN to list all the Model Names with a Sticker Price greater than $30000

13,659 PointsThanks for the help Ben, I realized where I went wrong. Here's the answer that worked for me
SELECT ModelName FROM Model WHERE ModelID IN (SELECT ModelID FROM Car WHERE StickerPrice > 30000)

1,464 PointsI can't see the lesson, but from what you describe it should look something like this:
SELECT * FROM Model WHERE ModelID IN (SELECT ModelID FROM Car WHERE StickerPrice > 30000)
You can think of
IN
like phps'in_array
but for SQL. The subquery will return a collection of the column selected then the outer query will select all rows that have the constraint in that collection.Hope that helps.
