Im not sure why my query's not working... SELECT COUNT(*) AS jk_book_count FROM books WHERE author = "J.K Rowling";

Can someone tell me why this query's not working? Im pretty sure I did everything right.

Hey, your SQL is valid, SQL is case sensitive, maybe check that your table and field names have the correct Case.

Though this would show a different error message.

You just have a typo. You left off the period after the "K" in "J.K. Rowling".
