Not sure what the correct query is. Would appreciate any help.
SELECT title, STRFTIME(%m/%Y, date_released) AS month_year_released FROM movies;
SQL Error: near "%": syntax error

SELECT title, STRFTIME('%m/%Y', date_released) AS month_year_released FROM movies;

6,053 PointsIn a movies database we have a movies table. It has the columns of id, title, date_released and genre. Write a query that returns the title first and the month and year it was released alias as month_year_released. Dates should look like "04/1983" for April 1983.
