Review ratings should be only be 1-5. Find all the invalid ratings in one query. So far I have SELECT * FROM reviews WHERE ratings and then I'm not sure how to go from there.

SELECT *
FROM reviews
WHERE ratings NOT BETWEEN 1 AND 5;
I hope that helps a little bit.

12,842 PointsColton, I assume you're referring to a code challenge, but I have no idea which one as the ones after Filtering Out have to do with books not ratings. I think what you're asking about has to do with using BETWEEN:
SELECT *
FROM reviews
WHERE ratings BETWEEN 1 AND 5;
So this query will return all fields from reviews where the rating of the review is between 1 and 5. You may want to review "Searching within a Range of Values": https://teamtreehouse.com/library/sql-basics/finding-the-data-you-want/searching-within-a-range-of-values for more information.
If this isn't what you're looking for, I'm happy to help, but it might be good to re-phrase your question and point to a specific challenge...if that's the issue.

738 PointsI need the opposite of that. It's an sql playground challenge. It's basically I need every rating that is NOT 1 through 5

12,842 PointsColton, I'm a tad confused by your original question. "Review ratings should be only 1-5" will be a different query than "Find all the invalid ratings in one query" query. Carlos addresses the invalid ratings query. My code addresses the "Review ratings should be only 1-5". So between Carlos and myself you can see that changing a simple word can change a lot with the outcome and the meaning of the query!
