SQL Challenge issue

Hi,

Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong in this code challenge? I receive results so I know that my query executes, but the count returns 149 and the code challenge states that it only expects 13?

What have I missed / done wrong?

Thanks in advance

SELECT COUNT(*) AS "shipped_today" FROM orders WHERE status = "shipped" AND DATE("now");

The last part of the WHERE clause doesn't seem to be a complete comparison. I would expect to see a date column name being compared to today's date.

Update: now that I see the challenge, I would expect "ordered_on = DATE("now")" instead of just "DATE("now")"

Doh! Yes that would help!

Thank you for the response!
