Databases

Please check what went wrong with my SQL statement..?

We're back in the sports team database. There's a results table with the columns id, home_team, home_score, away_team, away_score and played_on . Find all the matches in the results table where "Hessle" was playing away as the away team and if they played on or after October 1st 2015. Date format is "YYYY-MM-DD".

Ans: SELECT * FROM results WHERE away_team = "Hessle" AND played_on "2015.10.01" OR played_on > "2015.10.01";

Hi Abdus,

It would be helpful if you could provide a link to the challenge you are working on.

But there are a few things I can point out.

First take a look at your date format. The question specifically states "YYYY-MM-DD" yet you are using "YYYY.MM.DD".

And the other thing I will mention is take note of the wording in the question : "played on or after October 1st 2015". Consider using the relational operator, greater than or equal to ( >= )

SELECT * FROM results WHERE away_team = "Hessle" AND played_on >= "2015-10-01";

Thanks for your quick response..!

How do I provide the link..? In the system it was already attached, I don't know why didn't you received it. May be something went wrong..!

No problem.

Well if you already attached it then maybe there is an issue with the Database courses. I've noticed that Database questions never seem to have links to the challenges attached and up until this point I assumed that people just forgot. But maybe there is a bug of some sort?
