MySQL: Stage 7 Calculating...

The question asks: Like before, group reviews by "movie_id", get the average "score" as "average" and filter out any averages over 2.

My answer is: select avg(score) as average from reviews group by movie_id having average > 2;

which is flagged as incorrect.

If I type it into MySQL Workbench it works as expected.

Does anyone see the problem? Thanks!

If i'm not mistaken, your query would only display reviews which have a score greater than 2 - whereas the question asks for these to be filtered out (ie only display results with an average of less than or equal to 2). I think this may be the problem, however I'm not very familiar with HAVING so I am guessing a bit at its usage (based on my understanding of WHERE).

That was my problem - thanks!
