Here's a tricky one.
The Questions is as follows
We're back in the sports team database. There's a results table with the columns id, home_team, home_score, away_team, away_score and played_on .
Find all the matches in the results table where "Hessle" was playing away as the away team and if they played on or after October 1st 2015. Date format is "YYYY-MM-DD".
To which my response is
select id, home_team, home_score, away_team, away_score, played_on from results where away_team = "Hessle" AND played_on >= "2015-10-01";
But it keeps telling me I've not selected all the columns. What am I missing? :)

But I learned early on that making it WORK and making it PASS are not exactly the same thing!

231,275 PointsYou didn't provide a link to the challenge, but assuming that is a complete list of the table's columns...
I would guess they are looking for a * instead of a column list.

Treehouse Moderator 91,253 PointsYup, that's the one. I guess my approach though valid code was too much work for the challenge ;)
And it's interesting because I made my post from the challenge page so it should have given a link to the page. :)

231,275 PointsIt sure should have, report that as a bug!
And you've clearly had more TH courses than me, you should know the golden challenge rule: Never do anything other than what the challenge specifically asks for.

Treehouse Moderator 91,253 PointsWell yes but this is what i did. All the matches which said to be all the fields. A technique which has passed challenges for me in this course before. :-)
