Challenge Task 1 of 2
We're using library database again. There's a books table. There's a title, author, genre and first_published column. Write a query to obtain the first 5 books in the Fantasy genre ordered by the year released. Oldest first. Select all rows.
SELECT * FROM books WHERE genre = 'Fantasy' ORDER BY first_published LIMIT 5;
The error message I'm getting says that there is something wrong with my SQL code. Can anyone elaborate?
