Inconsistency in Inserting, Updating and Deleting Rows Database quiz.

I thought this might be be a slight oversight. In task 1 of 3 we inserted a new row with the title "Aliens" (plural) but in task 2 of 3 we are updating the year of the entry "Alien" (singular).

This had me at a pause because I wasn't sure if I should have typed "Aliens" or "Alien" You can see the answer is singular. I imagine in the real world this would not have been a match in the database.

Sorry I'm not sure who to tag other than Andrew Chalkley since he narrated it.

Hi Kevin,

It's not an error :) Alien the first film was released in 1979 - this was already in the table. Aliens, the sequel, was newly inserted into the table in the first step.

Regards Andrew

Ohhh, well that makes sense! Had me thrown for a loop there for a moment. Thanks for the prompt response! I'm waiting for the next lesson to be released...haha! :)
