We're using the library database again. There's a books table. There's a title, author, genre and first_published column. Write a query to obtain the first 5 books in the Fantasy genre ordered by the year released. Oldest first. Select all columns.

Have you written any code yet?

At least please give it a good-faith attempt and then ask for help if you have trouble, and be sure to show your code and provide a link to the course page you are working with.

SELECT * FROM books WHERE genre like "%Fantacy" ORDER BY first_published ASC LIMIT 5

It looks like you have a typo.

You wrote "Fantacy" (with a "c") but the challenge is looking for "Fantasy" (with an "s").

And while it will likely work as is, you probably don't need to use LIKE here with a wildcard. Just a simple equality comparison would do.

For future questions, remember to post your code and a link to the course page.
