todays report, ecommerce objective

Im having a lot of trouble with this question:

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 today. Alias it to shipped_today.

My incorrect answer was:

SELECT status, COUNT(*) AS shipped_today WHERE status = "placed" AND ordered_on = DATE("now");

please and thank you

Hey Samuel!

The question says "orders that have the status of shipped today", but you have WHERE status = "placed". Should the status be shipped? Also, should you have single quotes around "placed", like below?

WHERE status = 'placed'

Let me know if that helps!

select count(*) as "Shipped_today" from orders where status = "shipped" and ordered_on = date("now")
