Reporting with SQL

I couldn't solve this quiz, I need help !! Is there any rules like we should use WHERE clause at the end of SQL statements?

SELECT * FROM books ORDER BY first_published ASC LIMIT 5; This statement says that i'm missing a where clause so i tried like this, SELECT * FROM books WHERE genre="Fantasy" ORDER BY first_published ASC LIMIT 5; it gives a syntax error same as SELECT * FROM books ORDER BY first_published ASC LIMIT 5 WHERE genre="Fantasy" ; I also tried using LIKE keyword ,but i failed ,so help me to solve this quiz Thanks in advance!!

Your second try appears to be correct, I'm not sure why you would have seen an error. Try it again:

SELECT * FROM books WHERE genre="Fantasy" ORDER BY first_published ASC LIMIT 5;

And "ASC" is optional since it is the default.
