6,850 PointsProblem with code challenge after SQL calculating, aggregating and other functions
The assignment was to count the number of rows in the users table and alias the result as "user_count".
I entered SELECT COUNT(*) FROM users AS user_count;
I tried it several times and it was not accepted, I tried exactly the same thing in the SQL Workbench and it worked properly.

SELECT COUNT(*) AS user_count FROM users;

6,850 PointsThat worked! I guess it thought the alias was for the table, not for the count. Thanks,
