The DATE() function.

In an ecommerce database there's an orders table with the columns id, product_id, user_id, address_id, ordered_on, status and cost. Count the total number of orders that have the status of shipped yesterday. Alias it to shipped_yesterday.

Bummer! You're count calculation was wrong. Was expecting the count of 14.

I literally can`t find anything wrong with the syntax, maybe my maty is wrong

SELECT COUNT(status) FROM orders WHERE status = "shipped" AND DATE("now", "-1 day" )

you forgot to add the column name in your second filter, the final query should be similar to this one:

select count(status) as shipped_yesterday from orders where status = "shipped" and ordered_on = Date("now", "-1 day")
