Use the EXPLAIN keyword to explain a where query where you see if the 'first_name' equals 'Pasan' in the 'users' tables.

my query is EXPLAIN SELECT * FROM users WHERE first_name = “Pasan” but its showing an error f5cbd593-a066-4c05-abef-d3cc0bfe5554.rb:17: invalid multibyte char (US-ASCII) f5cbd593-a066-4c05-abef-d3cc0bfe5554.rb:17: invalid multibyte char (US-ASCII)

please explain whats wrong

Thanks in Advance

It looks good except for the missing ; at the end. Though other tests pass with the missing semi-colon.

Try this:

EXPLAIN SELECT * FROM users WHERE first_name = 'Pasan';
