SQL basics: Filtering by dates 1 of 1 objective error.

I am getting this Error while trying to complete the objective

"is Bummer! You're missing the date of the 1st October 2015 ("2015-10-01")"

My code 

select * from results where "Hessle" = away_team AND "Hessle" = played_on or "Hessle" >= 2015-10-01;

I typed in the exact same procedure on my local sql workspace and it worked.

Hi Jeffrey,

You only have to check 2 conditions here. If the away_team equals "Hessle" and you have that one. The other is to check if the played_on value is greater than or equal to "2015-10-01" The date should be quoted.

select * from results where away_team = "Hessle" and played_on >= "2015-10-01";

Remember that dates need to be in quotes as they are not an integer. See below:

SELECT * FROM results WHERE away_team = 'Hessle' AND played_on >= '2015-10-01'
