REPLACE problem

n the customers table there's an email column. Write a query that will retrieve all email addresses but will replace the @ symbol with <at> so they all look like andrew<at>teamtreehouse.com. Alias it as obfuscated_email .

Bummer! Try again!

SELECT email FROM customers WHERE REPLACE(email,"@","<at>");

It looks like you have this almost right but you don't need the WHERE clause. you need to find somewhere to put your aliased column name.

Try aliasing the email column when you SELECT it in your SQL. 

SELECT REPLACE(email, "@", "<at>") as obfuscated_email FROM customers;

Hi Oscar,

You are very close, but the problem wants you to add the REPLACE statement within your SELECT. So, move your code around a bit like so:

SELECT REPLACE(email,"@","<at>") AS obfuscated_email FROM customers;

You don't need a "WHERE" statement for this problem. Also don't forget the add the alias of "obfuscated_email"!

I hope this helps.
