In a car database there is a Sale table with columns, SaleID, CarID, CustomerID, LocationID, SalesRepID, SaleAmount and SaleDate. The database also has a SalesRep table with columns, SalesRepID, FirstName, LastName, SSN, PhoneNumber, StreetAddress, City, State and ZipCode.

Show all SaleDate, SaleAmount, and SalesRep First and Last name from Sale and SalesRep. Make sure that all Sales appear in results even if there is no SalesRep associated to the sale.

My answer:

SELECT s.SaleDate, s.SaleAmount, sr.FirstName||" "||sr.LastName FROM SalesRep AS sr LEFT OUTER JOIN Sale AS s ON sr.SalesRepID = s.SalesRepID

Bummer! Your query didn't select the SaleDate, SaleAmount, FirstName and LastName!! I Have selected all of them!!!! What Am I missing here?

You didn't provide a link to the challenge for confirmation, but it looks like the challenge is expecting the fields to be individually selected and not concatenated together.

Yepp, I just had to select the fields individually! I thought I had tried that out already, but apparently not. Thank you, Steven!
