3,539 PointsMAX/MIN Question
I'm doing the final practice for this section and it asked for the Max & Min for each movie. I got those but how do I get the movie_id for both Max & Min? I added movie_id to my query and it only showed one ID but Max & Min are 2 different IDs. Thanks!!

What's happening is that the movie table is a foreign key table, which means it has a "many" relationship. The movie_id is a foreign key column so it can appear more than once. So you should only need to select the movie_id once in your query in order to get the min() and max() data

3,539 PointsMy apologies as I may have asked the question wrong. How do I get the movie_id to show with the Min() and the Max()? I did get the Min () and Max() data but I could not get the ID for each. They are two different IDs but it only showed one.

-- I am guessing you entered something like this
SELECT movie_id, MIN(rating), MAX(rating) FROM reviews;
-- But should have entered something like
SELECT movie_id, MIN(rating), MAX(rating) FROM reviews GROUP BY movie_id;
