SQL basics: bug or is my answer wrong?

I am receiving a message of "You didn't select all the the fields" when it appears that I have. Am I missing something?

Hi Christian,

Could you please post us your code or a link to the challenge you're struggling with. Thanks :-)

Sorry, I thought I had the box checked for adding the code to my post. I have moved past the module that was giving me issues instead of waiting for a response that I didn't know would be so quick. Thank you for your attempt at helping me though. I'll be sure to add the code myself if I have issues in the future. :)

I am having the same issue again so I can share this one with you.

My code:

SELECT id, name, description, price FROM products WHERE price IN (7.99, 9.99, 11.99);

The situation:

Find all of the items in the products table with the prices of 7.99, 9.99, and 11.99 without using the OR keyword. The listed columns after the SELECT keyword are all of the columns listed in the question.

The challenge is expecting you to use the shorthand.

When the challenge says "all the fields", it is expecting you to use the asterisk (*) character as a shorthand to represent all fields.

SELECT * FROM ...

I had just figured that out after you added this comment. Thank you for your help though.
