Modifying Data with SQL (update quiz)

I am wondering normally "phone" should be considered as a string or integer when we setup a database?

UPDATE phone_book SET first_name = "Mystery", last_name = "Person" WHERE phone = 123;

The code I attached dont pass the test, why? Phone is not a number which should be integer?

Thanks.

:point_right: Are you sure you need a WHERE clause?

You didn't provide a link to the challenge, but if it's the one I'm thinking of, it expects you to change the name of all contacts — so you would not use a WHERE clause.

Please add a link to the challenge if it's not that one.

You are correct! This is the challenge I do which require to update the contact! Thanks you so much for helping me to resolve the problem.
