1,961 PointsModifying Data with SQL Challenge question
Please can someone assist.
I am stuck on task 1 of 3: https://teamtreehouse.com/library/modifying-data-with-sql/adding-data-to-a-database/adding-data-with-sql
I have written the following code.
INSERT INTO products (id, name, description, price)
VALUES
(1, "Sarah", "Red", 10.99),
(2, "Niamh", "Blue", 22.99),
(3, "Elle", "green", 22.22),
(4, "Brad", "purple", 10.22);
And it's giving the following error:
Bummer: Was expecting 4 entries in the products table. There's only 3.

- the instructions only ask you to add one new product
- they warn you that the ID column is auto-incrementing
- an auto-increment column should be given a NULL value (or just not be included at all)

I have tried entering one product:
INSERT INTO products (id, name, description, price)
VALUES
("Sarah", "Red", 10.99);
It's still giving me the same error as above.
