Need help with this query

I'm typing in this query - what am I doing wrong?

select count(*) from orders where status="shipped" and ordered_on=date(now) as shipped_today;

2 Answers

You have to put the 'now' in quotes and place 'as shipped_today' in between count(*) and from.

Thank you! What about this challenge? In an ecommerce database there's an orders table with the columns id, product_id, user_id, address_id, ordered_on, status and cost.

Count the total number of orders that were ordered yesterday and have the status of 'shipped'. Alias it to ordered_yesterday_and_shipped.

I'm posting this and it's not working: select count(*) as ordered_yesterday_and_shipped from orders where status="shipped" and ordered_on=date("now"; "-1 day");

Replace the semicolon in your date function with a comma.
